## Summary

In 2019, the EPA released a census that included walkability ratings of
various neighborhood blocks throughout the United States. For this
visualization, an interactive map was created that displays walkability
throughout the United States. More specifically, walkability ratings were
grouped by county and placed into an index grouping based on those formulated
by the EPA. In the visualization, there is a description of the EPA
walkability index. This was designed with the intention of allowing anyone to
open the graphic and understand what data it is displaying. Additionally, you
can filter by region and state based on preferences.
