Ranks 1,801 to 1,900 of 2,515 towns and cities of 2,500+ in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, led on this page by Stanton Hill and Skegby, Nottinghamshire.

The Walkability Grade: the share of commuters who walked, cycled or took public transport to work at the 2021 Census (taken in lockdown). The area rank sits beside each letter. How grades work

Ranks 1,801 to 1,900

Walkability grade, best first; towns with the same score share a rank (T = tied). Military garrison towns and university campuses keep their grades but aren’t ranked. Each area rank links to that area’s list.

100 towns on this page. Counties and council areas with 15 or more towns have their own list.
