## How far walkability reaches

Antakya's score of 55 is the average across the 5 km around its centre, the point with the most everyday places within a walk. Walkability averages 88 within 1 km of the centre, 77 from 1 to 3 km out and 37 from 3 to 5 km out. 16 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. 43% 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.

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.
