Our map of the City of Toronto&#8217;s Walk Score data proves what we all know: the downtown core is the best part of town for getting around on your feet. Because daily errands don&#8217;t require a car, the Bay Street Corridor and Church-Yonge Corridor neighbourhoods in the heart of the city have the best scores at 99 and 98 out of 100, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The least walkable neighbourhoods were at opposite ends of the city though still in the suburbs: Princess-Rosethorn in Etobicoke scored 48 and the Rouge area in Scarborough scored 42 out of 100<\/p>\n<p>But walkability isn&#8217;t just a black-and-white matter of downtown versus the suburbs. In South Etobicoke, New Toronto has a Walk Score of 79, making it a more pedestrian friendly than some neighbourhoods closer to the city centre, like Forest Hill South, which has a score of 76. Parts of North York are also very walkable, with Willowdale East scoring 84.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know whether the Danforth is more walkable than High Park?
