About How Walkable
By How WalkableUpdated
How Walkable gives a free walkability score from 0 to 100 to any address on Earth, built entirely on open map data. It ranks 224 of the world's largest cities in 65 countries, and anyone can look up a score without an account.
Why it exists
Whether you can run daily errands on foot shapes where people choose to live, work and stay. The best-known walkability score covers mainly the United States, Canada and Australia, and its data is not open. How Walkable applies the same published method to every country, using open data that anyone can check and improve.
Who makes it
How Walkable is built and run by Crunchy OÜ, a small independent software company. It is not affiliated with Walk Score, Redfin or any property portal, and it does not sell data about the places people look up. Questions, corrections and press enquiries go to [email protected].
What it is built on
- 24,283,286 shops, restaurants, schools and other places from the Overture Maps Foundation, which combines OpenStreetMap with other open sources.
- Streets and parks from OpenStreetMap.
- City positions and populations from GeoNames.
At 46 addresses across the United States and Canada, How Walkable's scores were within 5.9 points of Walk Score® on average, and within 10 points at 39 of them. The accuracy study lists every address, and the methodology explains how scores are calculated.
