Now this is one ranking where I thought Portland would rank higher given all of the great neighborhoods and parks here.
Alas, Portland finished 9th in Prevention magazine's annual survey of the country's best walking cities. San Francisco finished first.
Selection of the best cities for walking were based on 19 criteria, including population density per square mile, use of mass transit, crime rates, and square miles of local and state parks. Prevention—and its partners, the American Podiatric Medical Association and Sperling's Best Places—also consulted with a panel of nationally recognized experts in the field of walking communities.
The top 10 best walking cities were:
1. San Francisco
2. Boston
3. New York
4. Philadelphia
5. Chicago
6. Washington D.C.
7. Seattle
8. Honolulu
9. Portland, Ore.
10. Pittsburgh
