Walkability in one mile140Can you walk in your neighborhood?

Trying to cut down on driving? Your success may depend on where you live.  Residents in compact communities can reach more places on foot, allowing errands to become a leasurely walk in the park. Those living in suburban cul-de-sacs may find themselves longing for a direct route to anything. These telling maps from Sightline's 2006 Cascadia Scorecard visually demonstrate how our neighborhoods affect the well-being of ourselves and our climate.   View the compact community and the suburban community.
