    I got a 62. I actually think Burlington, VT is a lot more walkable than that... The following are all less than two miles from my house:
    --a nice, large natural foods co-op
    --a pedestrian (closed to traffic) street with shopping, restaurants and bars
    --a university
    --two bike shops
    --two bike paths
    --several parks, a "beach" (on Lake Champlain), a sailing center
    --a movie theatre, a performing arts venue, a post office and a public library
    --Starbucks...

    I'm a Big Zero!

    Goose Egg! However, it is the most walkable/runnable/ bikeable (just not a road bike - 2.5 miles from pavement) area I've seen in my life. It's just that we're 5 miles from anything. Can just let the dog run loose, once we get onto old logging roads. I don't like city/town living (nearly lost my mind the one time we actually did it).

    However, I agree the thing is on crack - the distances it shows are all even closer than they really are. 2 miles to things that HAVE to be 10, 13 to something I know is 20. It also misplaced my house by about 2 miles, from the looks of it.

    I drive to work (12 miles one way) most days (try to ride once or twice a week in the summer), groceries are on the way home, hardware store is on the way home, bank, ski trails, lbs.... all on the way home, and about 5 miles from home (although this thing says they're 2-3). I go to "town" (20 miles from home) once every week or three.

    My address got a 26. Not surprising since sidewalks just suddenly end, and we have no shoulder to ride bikes on. Still, I love Cape Cod and manage to walk and bike for both exercise and errands as much as possible, and bike commute 2 - 3 days a week. But the Cape is very car-centric and has poor public transportation.
