jan_andreaThis is cool.
You put in your streeet address and zip code, and it queries Google Maps to figure out how "walkable" your house and neighborhood are.
Our address right now gets a 78 out of 100, which is absolutely true -- I can walk to a lot of useful places easily, including the school, library, post office, and several cafes and whatnot.
My dad's house gets a 0 out of 100. No surprise there; it's at least 1.5 miles to *anywhere* and those places are meh. Mom's gets a 0/100, too; their nearest thing (the school) is listed as 1.64 miles, and most places are 4+ miles away.
Our old house in Racine got a 40/100. Interesting that our address now is so much more walkable!
What about where you live? If it's walkable, do you?

Date: 2007-07-30 05:14 am (UTC)Ten more months until the lease is up, and then it's back to civilization for me!
The street I grew up on only got a 68, but I see that there's quite a lot missing on the map. I really expected it to be in the 90's.
Thanks for sharing this!
