Method: we count mapped points of interest from OpenStreetMap inside a box of roughly 1000 m around the neighborhood centre, grouped into the categories above. It is a count of what is mapped, not a score, and not a licensed walkability rating — density is described as low (under 100), moderate (100–199), high (200–349) or very high (350+) purely to summarise the number shown beside it. OpenStreetMap coverage varies by area, so treat this as a comparison between neighborhoods rather than an exhaustive census. Data collected October 2026. Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL.
