Abstract
⺠Connectivity, destinations, population density, and sidewalk, pathway and bus stop availability contribute to walkability. ⺠Adjusting for neighborhood self-selection, neighborhood walkability was associated with neighborhood-based walking. ⺠Neighborhood-based transportation walking behavior during a usual week was higher in more vs. less walkable neighborhoods. ⺠Usual weekly minutes of neighborhood-based recreational walking was higher in more vs. less walkable neighborhoods. ⺠Creating neighborhood built environments that support physical activity has the potential to improve population health.
