Resource Abstract:
- description: The Walkability Index dataset characterizes every Census 2010 block group in the U.S. based on its relative walkability.
Walkability depends upon characteristics of the built environment that influence the likelihood of walking being used as a
mode of travel. The Walkability Index is based on the EPA's previous data product, the Smart Location Database (SLD).
Block group data from the SLD was the only input into the Walkability Index, and consisted of four variables from the SLD
weighted in a formula to create the new Walkability Index. This dataset shares the SLD's block group boundary definitions
from Census 2010. The methodology describing the process of creating the Walkability Index can be found in the documents located
at ftp://newftp.epa.gov/EPADataCommons/OP/WalkabilityIndex.zip. You can also learn more about the Smart Location Database
