## Questions about Milan's neighbourhoods

Brera is the most walkable of the 19 neighbourhoods we rank in Milan, with a walkability score of 100 out of 100 (Walker's Paradise). It is followed by Città Studi (99) and CityLife (99).

### Which neighbourhoods of Milan are least walkable?

Of the 19 neighbourhoods we rank, the lowest scoring are Figino (33), Muggiano (45) and Gratosoglio (65). These are the best-known neighbourhoods with their own Wikipedia articles, so less walkable outer suburbs that are not ranked may score lower still.

### How are Milan's neighbourhoods ranked?

Each neighbourhood is scored at points 100 m to 500 m apart across a circle around its centre, sized to its area, and its score is the mean of those points. Each point's score counts the groceries, restaurants, shops, schools, parks and other everyday places within a 30 minute walk, as described in the methodology. Milan scores 94 across the 5 km around its centre.
