Here is a list of cities and neighborhoods ranked by walkability score. Scores and maps are from http://www.walkscore.com/ The site also has similar scoring systems for transit and biking which I will cover in the future. Let me know in the comments any cities you want me to add!
Little Rock Walkability Map - From Walkscore.com |
New York City - 88
Berkeley, CA - 79

North Little Rock - 32
Little Rock - 31
Hot Springs - 29

Conway - 25
Bentonville - 24
Pine Bluff - 23
Springdale - 23
Jonesboro - 21
Rogers - 18
Maumelle - 16
Bryant - 15
Note: While cities like Fort Smith and Little Rock have scores twice as high as places like Maumelle and Bryant, scores in the 30's are still considered very low and earn cities the label of "Car-Dependent". This label shouldn't surprise anyone living in any of these cities.
Best Arkansas Neighborhoods:
Little Rock:
Downtown ranks the highest reaching the 90's (but I think it could stand more housing options)
Fort Smith Walkability Map - From Walkscore.com |
Fayetteville:
Downtown/Dickson St./MLK Area scores in the 80's
One I didn't think of: the area along Township between College and Gregg ranked highly as well.
Eureka Springs:
Main St. scores in the high 70's
Springdale:
Highest around Emma/Holcomb/Thompson/Maple area (Low 60's)
