Selected amenities in this neighborhood:
It has a very good walkability score. In fact, it scores better than 82% of neighborhoods in the nation.
There is a very good mix of homes and jobs in the neighborhood, which means that there's the possibility that residents could walk or bike to many amenities and leave the car at home.
There is a high diversity in the categories of jobs within this neighborhood. This doesn't necessarily mean that a lot of people walk to work, but it instead suggests that there is likely a diverse range of amenities within walking distance, such as school, health care, and shopping.
The streets in this neighborhood are pretty accommodating to walkers, with a good density of intersections that pedestrians are able to safely cross. It also looks like there might be a lot of highways in this neighborhood, which will reduce its walkability score.
Finally, this neighborhood has a very good score for the average walking distance to a public transit stop. That doesn't mean that the system overall is excellent, but it is an indication that at least some public transit is available to many people.
Density refers to the number of housing units, people, and jobs per square mile. Higher density means a larger number per square mile. In general, this is associated with neighborhoods that are more walkable because amenities are closer together. Low density means fewer jobs, housing units, or people per square mile, and is less conducive to walking.
| Housing Density | 2,168 housing units per square mile |
|---|---|
| Population Density | 6,215 people per square mile |
| Employment Density | 2,381 jobs per square mile |
The Walkability Index does not have data on the presence of sidewalks. However, data on the type and speed of roads are available, as well as the nature of intersections, the presence of public transit, and the density of the road network. These are strong indicators about the walkability of a neighborhood. Other statistics, such as the number of cars that are owned by households, can signal whether a neighborhood is walkable or residents rely on their vehicles to get around.
| Percentage of households with no cars Households
that
own zero cars are notable because it means that those households get around by
other means, such as walking, biking, public transit, and car sharing. A high
value in this category may imply that the neighborhood is walkable and has good
public transit, but it can also be an indicator of lower income.

neighborhood to the nearest public transit stop of any type. Neighborhoods
without public transit will not have a value listed.

such as a subway or commuter rail system - this number is the percentage of jobs
in the neighborhood that are commutable by rail.

| Frequency of rush hour public transit service per hour
This is the total number of scheduled public transit trips per
hour that
pass within 0.25 miles of the neighborhood during 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. on weekdays.
For example, if there is only one bus per hour in the neighborhood during rush
hour, this value would be 1.

Employment numbers are a useful measure because they indicate the likelihood that households in the area will be able to walk, bike, or take public transit to their jobs. Even for people employed who don't work in the same neighborhood they live, the mix of nearby jobs can indicate whether amenities are accessible by foot. For example, a neighborhood with a high proportion of retail, office, and health care jobs is more likely to have shops and services that residents can walk to compared to a neighborhood with mostly industrial jobs.
Important notes: these are estimates collected by the US Census, so they aren't a reflection of current employment numbers or available job openings in the neighborhood. They also only describe employment strictly within the boundary of the neighborhood. This means that, for example, an adjoining neighborhood with a lot of retail jobs might have many shops you can walk to, even if you live in a neighborhood that doesn't.
