\u201cNew York is clearly leading the way in walkability by reclaiming space from cars for people,\u201d said Matt Lerner, Walk Score co-founder. \u201cOne look at Times Square shows how New York has become a leader. It\u2019s just one example of a place that went from being a gridlocked road full of cars to a park for pedestrians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Highlights:
\n<\/b>Miami is becoming more walkable, with a Walk Score increase of more than three points since 2011, likely thanks to a surge of commercial development. New home construction has increased population density in some neighborhoods and made it easier for people to live, work and shop in the same part of town.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople can now walk where they used to have to drive, especially in neighborhoods like Wynwood<\/a> and the Design District<\/a> where a lot of new restaurants and shopping and entertainment centers have opened up,\u201d said Aaron Drucker<\/a>, Redfin\u2019s Miami market manager. \u201cEven in traditionally walkable areas, like South Beach<\/a>, public transportation is improving and becoming a more attractive option as parking rates and traffic are both on the rise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detroit<\/a> has\u00a0seen a 2.2-point Walk Score increase since 2011 to 52.2 this year.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDowntown Detroit<\/a> has become noticeably more walkable over the past few years thanks to Dan Gilbert\u2019s initiative to move his company, Quicken Loans, and others from the suburbs back to the heart of the city,\u201d said Lauren Buttazzoni<\/a>, Redfin market manager in Detroit. \u201cFollowing these companies has come a slew of new restaurants, locally owned shops and small businesses. It\u2019s not just millennials but families and people of all generations who want to live near work and enjoy the action and amenities of city living. As a result, real estate in the city is in great demand, new lofts and condos are being built, and prices–in rents and sales alike–are rising. It has all been a great boon for the motor city.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Orleans has changed, too, as the city continues to reinvent itself following Hurricane Katrina. The city is rebuilding with walkability in mind<\/a> as it develops affordable housing and revitalizes commercial districts, which may have helped the city\u2019s Walk Score increase from 55.6 in 2011 to 56.3 today.<\/p>\n

Methodology
\n<\/b>To calculate the rankings, Walk Score analyzed over 10 million locations and computed more than 2 billion walking routes for 2,500 U.S. cities. For the second year in a row<\/a>, the Walk Score ranking uses the Street Smart Walk Score algorithm that incorporates walking routes, depth of choice, pedestrian friendliness, population \u00a0and neighborhood data. The changes in scores between the 2011 and 2015 rankings reflect changes in methodology (Classic Walk Score vs. Street Smart Walk Score) as well as changes in the cities themselves.<\/p>\n

Why Walkability Matters
\n<\/b>Our goal at Redfin and Walk Score is to help people find the right home, not just any home, and what often makes a home \u201cright\u201d is location. Walkability is about convenience, quality of life and everything outside the four walls of a house. When you live near the people and places you enjoy most, you can spend less time and money on transit and more time doing what you love.<\/p>\n
