Bainbridge Island · Below average
Winslow core · Most walkable
Population-weighted averages of Census block groups. Area-weighted, the island scores 8.3.
Shapes are simplified 2010 Census block groups and include some water, so they don't follow the shoreline.
What the index measures. EPA ranks every US block group on intersection density, distance to the nearest transit stop, and two measures of land-use mix (employment mix, and the mix of jobs and households). The ranks are combined into a 1–20 score.
How we averaged it. Bainbridge = 14 block groups (tracts 907–910), weighted by 2018 population. Their combined land area is 27.6 sq mi, matching the island. Winslow core = the three downtown block groups around Winslow Way and the ferry terminal.
Caveats. The scores are national ranks, so a small town isn't expected to score like a large city. The data uses 2010 block group boundaries and late-2010s inputs, so recent development isn't reflected. Block groups are coarse, so each one mixes denser and less dense areas.
