It may come as no surprise that San Francisco ranks as America’s #1 walkable city, but what about the rest of the country? After compiling a list of the “walkability” of 40 American cities, Walk Score gives us a good idea of what cities are pedestrian friendly and which ones require cars. The bottom ten cities on the list give us a few places where pedestrians are far and few between and driving is the name of the game (read: expect to spend a lot of money on gas). So where can you plan on packing away your walking shoes and donning your driving cap?
- Jacksonville
- Nashville
- Charlotte
- Indianapolis
- Oklahoma City
- Memphis
- Kansas City
- Fort Worth
- El Paso
- Mesa
The listing of cities does however lay out their most walkable neighborhoods, so if you’re planning a trip to one of these places, give it a look.
