29. Thatâs what Chattanooga scored out of 100 on Walk Scoreâs walkability meter, making it a âcar-dependentâ city.
A Walk Score is a numeric ranking that represents the walkability of an address based on pedestrian-friendliness and access to businesses.

Points are given based on the distance between the home and businesses, including restaurants, retail, and entertainment. For example, the proximity of Together CafĂ© to the Highland Park neighborhood would earn maximum points for being within a five minute walk (or about a quarter mile). However, Together CafĂ© would contribute zero points to the Riverview neighborhoodâs walk score, since itâs greater than a 30-minute walk away.
So, how does a whole city get one score? Chattanoogaâs walkability score is found by calculating the average walkability of many residential addresses in a city, meaning the more Together CafĂ© + Highland Park combinations, the better.
If youâre more likely to put the rubber to the road than make like Nancy Sinatra + strap on your walking boots, youâre in luck. Chattanooga ranks slightly higher for bicyclists with an overall score of 35. Learn how to make the most of that score + utilize Chattanooga bike transit system.
Donât let a bad grade get you down. Chattanooga is already taking steps towards becoming more pedestrian-friendly with initiatives like the 10-Minute Walk Campaign and the recent completion of the Greenway, which can get you from Camp Jordan to the Riverwalk without stepping foot in a car.
In the meantime, here are Chattanoogaâs top five most walkable + bikeable neighborhoods: - Downtown (Walk score: 69 | Bike score: 79)
-
North Chattanooga-Hill City-UTC (Walk score: 62 | Bike score: 59)
- Cedar Hill (Walk score: 51 | Bike score: 48)
- Bushtown-Highland Park (Walk score: 50 | Bike score: 63)
- Brainerd (Walk score: 45 | Bike score: 31)
