Walk Score, the website that calculates how “walkable” any location is based on the proximity of surrounding amenities, has compiled a list of “walkscores” for Georgia’s 65 largest cities and guess who came out on top?

According to the list, Decatur ranked as the state’s most walkable city, followed by Augusta and Atlanta.

Of course, any list limited to “cities” in Georgia has inherent problems since much of the state’s populated areas aren’t even classified as cities, even in urban areas.  Also, there are certainly parts of Atlanta with higher populations and Walkscores than Decatur – Atlantic Station comes to mind – but still, Decatur’s ranking is an impressive achievement for a city that wanted to replace the Old Courthouse with a parking lot just 50 years ago.

Thanks to the city’s Linda Harris for pointing this out!
