Thanks to the Grist (Crystal’s favorite place for enviro-news), I discovered Walk Score, a quick calculator that will give your neighborhood a numeric score on a scale of 0 to 100 depending on how “walking-friendly” it is. Nearby parks, stores, cafes and other conveniences in walking distance all factor in.
Unfortunately, our Eno Trace neighborhood scored very low. I think we’ll use this thing when we buy our next house!
