How are cities with a lot of college students or military personnel "overrepresented"!? Says who? College students and military personnel are still part of the residents, and they happen to walk. What makes a 40-year-old mall worker more representative than a 22-year-old college student!? -newkai t-c 17:42, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can't figure out how exactly this list was constructed. There are two sources given, but I can't find a list at either site corresponding to this ranking. 70.88.100.58 20:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC) [[The definition of pedestrian should be changed to simply not using a personal car. Any one who uses a subway or a bus also walks. Bicycles should also be considered as pedestrian, just as skate boards and roller blades, at least when talking about pedestrian commuters. I've been to many of the cities on the list and I can't see how NYC is lower than Pasedena, CA or even Cambridge, MA. For one those cities are smaller and the walking is not in conjunction with public transportation. A New Yorker probably walks farther to and from various subway lines than a Pasadenan walks to and from to school or a night club. There is not one city in Southern California where walking is and independent part of daily transportation other than college students. Pasedena for one is not an isolated community.[reply]
College students are isolated from the community at large, and they are transient.]] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.228.193.152 (talk) 12:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The list, like the list of percentage transit commuters it links to, was generated by the Carfree Census Database stated as a source. However, upon submitting the same query to the Carfree Census Database, it's obvious a few entries on the original list are completely incorrect. I'll be changing it to match the query performed here with the parameters set to: all states, population between 100000 and 999999999999, % of pedestrian commuters in descending order.

Would be nice to see the total modal split of all these places. For example, Cambridge looks great even if a lot of this is related to the universities there, but if most of the others travel by automobile it is worse from a sustainability viewpoint than NYC which has a lower pedestrian share but which is top in the USA for collective public transport share. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Green Idea Factory (talk • contribs) 01:04, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
