So How Safe Is Your Neighborhood?

Let Walk Score help you decide.

Here's how it works "Walk Score helps people find walkable places to live. Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc. Walk Score measures how easy it is to live a car-lite lifestyle-not how pretty the area is for walking."

Neighborhoods are scored by their walkability. I first heard about this site at Seattles REbar camp, and decided to look into it. Consumers use this site to as a means to determine how safe a neighborhood is. How well known is this site? I am not sure, but hey it is another tool to use. I think its very neat.

Lakeland Village, my neighborhood, recieved a 54/100. Not bad, we are fairly rural so i understand that.

Have a great "Good Friday!"
