Questions people ask
What is the most walkable town in New York?
Larchmont (Westchester County) and Thomaston (Nassau County) share first place on walkability among 758 towns.
How are these towns ranked?
The Walkability grade: the EPA National Walkability Index where residents live, and the share of commuters who walk, bike or take transit (Census ACS). Towns are sorted on the grade’s score; the letter and rank are the same as on each town’s page. How grades work.
Why isn’t my town on this list?
The list covers towns of 2,500+ residents with a walkability grade (758 in New York). Smaller towns have the grade on their page but no rank. Every town is on the New York page.
