Common Questions
FAQ — Cheyenne communities
What is a Walk Score?
Walk Score measures the walkability of an address on a 0–100 scale based on proximity to amenities. Scores above 70 are “very walkable,” 50–70 is “somewhat walkable,” and below 50 is car-dependent.
How does traffic affect commute times?
Rush hour on major highways can add 50–100% to drive times. Off-peak times shown are the best-case scenario.
