In December, we moved from a neighborhood with a walkscore of 69 to one that's got a score of 92. It's completely changed our lives to be able to bike and walk everywhere. I was almost giddy last week to be able to walk home from the dentist--and to stop and poke around at some thrift shops and gift shops on the way home.

And I was surprised to know that there is another score called drive score to evaluate my house. I found the way to calculate it online at Fizber site (http://drivescore.fizber.com/ ). I’ve got much better results – 51. My walk score is 45… I was rather upset with it. And I was surprised to know that there is another score called drive score to evaluate my house.

My neighborhood got a score of 72. I agree that I think their formula of just using distances is too simple though. I have to cross a few dangerous intersections to get to some of the places which makes it harder with kids. BUT, I am also near 2 very major bus lines which run all the time. That was interesting.
