238. Walking to work

Alaska is the state with the most people who walk to work, 7.4%. This is because of little villages like Deering, where everything is within half a mile of everything else, there are no roads that lead there so it is difficult to get cars, and gas costs like $10/gallon. The national average is 2.5%.

As fat as cities go, Boston was names the "large city" with the most people who walk to work at 12.5%. In case you are curious, New York City has 9.4%. We have villages which are not "large cities" so they don't make the list, but almost 100% of the people walk to work.

Comments:
We really enjoy reading your blog when it is personal and not one liners. We would like to know more about you and the people in Deering. We are a disabled couple and dream of living in villages such as Deering but do not know if it would be possible, given our disablities. We have a blogI am working on,"Isolated and Rural Jews in the Diaspora". Hope we can e-mail one another and get acquianted.
