Emporia Tops Kansas Walkability List

Emporia just edged out the rest of Kansas as the most walkable city, scoring a solid 45 out of 100 — meaning you can actually stroll to shops, parks, and river trails without a car. The ranking measures how close amenities are, neighborhood density, and street layout. Prairie Village came in second at 42, while Lawrence and Liberal tied for third at 41. For biking lovers, Lawrence leads with a 61, followed by Pittsburg at 55. But not all cities shine — Leawood trails the pack at just 22, with Shawnee and Gardner close behind at 24.
