An 88 out of 100. No wonder we can walk everywhere but the hospital, Kaiser. However, Kaiser did open an office within walking distance and they have a pediatrician. So even that should be taken care of soon.

Update: Apparently a key metric is missing from this walkscore site, access to public transportation. The fact that there is a train station within three blocks of home doesn't change the walk score. It should. It means I never have to drive to work or to San Francisco or to go out dancing, drinking, etc. So 88 is probably too low. --e

I thought you were addressing Kaiser Soze of the Blue State Baseball League, not Kaiser Permanente. Silly me!
I didn't think our score would be very good, but 14? Wow. That truly sucks. We must buy us a scooter.
14, Wow. It must be hard to get around without a car.
There are many key metrics missing.
My abode in downtown Troy gets an 83.
But the place they list as a bar isn't one, and the grocery store they list sells only Italian imported foods; great for a special dinner, not so good for peanut butter and milk.
And the movie theater they list? Skinema Arts, which has been closed for years, and it was a porn theater while it was there, so possibly not so useful to me.
But I love the idea, and it is true my apartment is pretty easy for walking. It will be even better when the Troy Food Co-op opens and I can walk to a real grocery store.
I'd give my place a 70.
