Walk Grade measures the reality of the walk, not just the distance: sidewalks, road noise, tree canopy, traffic speed, and every street you actually cross, traced along the real street network for every US neighborhood. The widget is free, always current, and takes one paste.

Example
Why Walk Grade, not a straight-line score
It follows the real route
Most walkability scores measure straight-line distance, as if you could walk through buildings and across freeways. Walk Grade traces the walk you would actually take, one destination at a time.
It scores what the walk is like
Did the sidewalk end and leave you in a ditch? Is the route a loud arterial or a quiet tree-lined street? How many roads do you cross, how wide, how fast is traffic? Each one changes the grade.
Destinations have to cluster
Nine destinations in nine directions is not walkability. Walk Grade rewards places where errands sit near each other, so one walk covers several.
Essentials count for more
Grocery stores are paramount; pharmacies and bus stops count more than a hair salon.
Common questions

What places are covered? Every US city, town, county, ZIP, and neighborhood.
Can I use it on client or listing pages? Yes, embed it per listing with that address’s neighborhood, the same paste with a different place.
