## How far walkability reaches

Tunis's score of 64 is the average across the 5 km around its centre, the point with the most everyday places within a walk. Walkability averages 86 within 1 km of the centre, 63 from 1 to 3 km out and 59 from 3 to 5 km out. 29 of the 91 points within 5 km fall on water or on land without streets, such as hillsides, forest or farmland, and are left out, so the score describes only the built-up part. 40% of the sampled area scores 70 or more, where most errands can be done on foot. Walkability falls off steeply away from the centre, so check a specific address on the map.

### How is Tunis's walkability score calculated?

For Tunis it is the average of 62 points spaced 1 km apart within 5 km of its busiest point, leaving out water and land without streets; 25 of them score 70 or more. Each point counts groceries, restaurants, shops, cafés, banks, parks, schools, libraries and cultural venues within a 30 minute walk, gives nearer places more weight, and loses up to 20% where streets are sparse or blocks are long, using open map data from Overture Maps (release 2026-09-23.1) and OpenStreetMap. It measures what is within a walk, not what the walk is like: pavements, traffic, safety, hills and heat are not part of the score.
