The walk to eight daily needs

Compared with the rest of the country
The map is cut into six-sided cells 55 m across, and every cell that a street passes through gets a score: we call these street cells. We sort all 13,208,252 street cells in Italy from hardest to easiest to walk, then cut the list into five equal groups, called fifths. In Vicenza, 80% of the street cells are in the most walkable fifth, more than the 20% of an average place.

|---|---|---|

| Second fifth | 10% | |

The most and least walkable areas
Each street cell takes the name of the nearest neighbourhood, village or town on OpenStreetMap, up to 1.5 km away. We rank the 7 areas where people live: each has at least 200 street cells and 500 buildings, and at least a quarter as many buildings per street cell as Vicenza as a whole, so ports, hill parks and farmland drop out.

Even Capitello, the least walkable area here, has 84% of its street cells in the most walkable fifth in Italy. Vicenza walks far better than most of the country, so even its weakest areas beat most other places.
