Score your neighbourhood for walkability

The website Walk Score has for about a year now been calculating the walkability of American neighbourhoods. Now it is available for Australian cities, as i discovered by chance yesterday.

My place in Joondanna, in Perth's middle suburbs, scores a reasonable 60/100, despite being a good 10 minute walk from anything. But we are moving in a couple of weeks to Highgate in Perth's inner suburbs. As expected, it scores a much higher 85/100. Here's what the map looks like:
As you can see, it pulls a lot of information from Google maps including restaurants, schools, hardware stores, cinemas, and other destinations. Interestingly, it also provides results in kilometres (not miles).

It's a great tool for town planners everywhere, as well as house-hunting.
