More of the Story

San Antonio’s citywide Walk Score® has gotten progressively worse since 2010 and raises the issue of a measurement of accessibility that is not limited to walking.

As San Antonio's sprawl has persisted and population has grown, several neighborhoods persist as "walkable neighborhoods." The top 5 "most walkable" neighborhoods in San Antonio according to Walk Score® are:

Downtown
King William
Tobin Hill
Arsenal
Five Points

Because Walk Score® measures walking routes to nearby amenities, this particular measure will be discontinued after 2021. SA2020 will work with the City of San Antonio's Department of Public Works to determine reliable measures for increasing connectivity for all San Antonians, including but not limited to sidewalk accessibility and eliminating sidewalk gaps.

Walk Score® measures the walkability of any address using a patented system. For each address, Walk Score® analyzes hundreds of walking routes to nearby amenities. Points are awarded based on the distance to amenities in each category. Walk Score® also measures pedestrian friendliness by analyzing population density and road metrics such as block length and intersection density. Data sources include Google, Factual, Great Schools, Open Street Map, the U.S. Census, Localize, and places added by the Walk Score® user community.
