    Add another zero to the group! Mine is well-deserved, though. I'd be kidding myself if I tried to make excuses, heh.

    I'm a 9, and it is also well deserved. Everyone here drives pickup trucks with guns hanging in the racks. And they don't take kindly to someone on foot or bike being on "THEIR ROAD"!
    But on the other hand-- it's beautiful here if you ignore the people!

    One of mine is really low, too.

    The new house is a big fat 0. But it is still pretty rural so I'm not surprised.

    My school addresses, though, are pretty good. My old one is 73 and my new one is 80.

    Cool site.

    I'm a whopping "3". Which I tend to agree with in terms of walkability, but I was kind of peeved to see that categorized as "car-dependant." Considering I can easily bike to work, the gym, the grocery store, the farmer's market, etc. I take issue with that classification.

    The apartment we just vacated scored a 57 (somewhat walkable) on that engine and yet my car remained idle for months at a time and everything I needed was within 5 miles of us. Additionally, I lived 100 yards from the light rail station and everything in my neighborhood was new, so most of it didn't count.

    I did have 5 (yes 5) Starbucks' within a 1.5 mile radius!!

    The house we just moved to is a big whopping 0. The closest business is 2.5 miles away, and it's a feed store! But, with shopping and hospitals within 8 miles, the last stop on the light rail within 14 miles and work within 20 miles, I still don't consider our new location 'car-dependent'. Bikes rule!

    Interesting!- in our rural area, the guys in pickup trucks with rifle racks and John Deere hats are always pretty courteous to us on our bikes.....it's the 20 yr old guys in the BMWs and Mustangs you gotta worry about....not to mention the little 'bluehairs' in the Buicks that can barely see over the steering wheel!

    I think it's funny how they divide everything into either walk-able or drive-able. Half the neighborhoods that get a 0 for walkability would get a much higher rating for bikeability.
