How this ranking works

Each metric is scored 0-100 by percentile against the other ranked cities, then blended using these weights:

EPA National Walkability Index ×3
Groceries per km² ×2
Transit stops per km² ×2
Pharmacies per km² ×1
Cafes per km² ×1
Restaurants per km² ×1
Parks per km² ×1

Place counts cover a 5 km radius around each city's center, so cities are compared like for like. Scores are relative to the cities in our dataset. About the data.
