22 in everyone's favourite whipping boy of Cranston.
As already pointed out, a lot of the data isn't accurate at all. Fish Creek park is a 2 minute walk from my place, but it's listed as nearly 4km's away. On the other hand, the closest hospital is a vet just over 1 km away, so....
I think it still works as more of a general idea type of thing as the higher density/inner city areas are consistently scoring higher marks.

Damn those kids that are able to walk to parks and other places independently!

While I don't know your area, many dense urban areas are great for families. Calgary has some room for improvement in this regard.

The answer to your question is YES!
As for the last statement, I'm in Wichita, KS and it is a whole other world. Not a great place to raise a family (IMHO) overall, and downtown is a cesspool.

18. But I knew that given that in less than 2 years we have put over well over 30,000 miles on each of our two cars.
And that 18 is generous given Casey's General Store is not a grocery store but rather a gas station/convenience store etc...

Heck, I use my car just to go to 7-11 anyways, which is a 15 - 20 minute walk for me.

Anybody know when they are going to build that strip mall in Silverado already? We've had an 8, 5 and 3.

72 in Windsor Park. I am sure being 5 blocks from LRT and half a block from Chinook Centre helps the score.
Oooooh that reminds me, I've got to drive over there tomorrow to pick up a spark plug wrench at Sears for my motorcycle. All the 800 metre trips I am making to the 7-11 to get smokes seems to be fouling the plugs up.

I got a 6 in Elbow Valley.
I can walk to get the mail, but that's about it.

You should consider getting a car with a larger gas tank.
