TABLE 3—

Test–Retest Reliabilitya and Mean (SD) Subscale Scores From the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale

Mean (SD) Subscale Score
Neighborhood Environment Factor or Subscale Test—Retest Reliability (n = 106) High-Walkability Neighborhood (n = 54) Low-Walkability Neighborhood (n = 53)
Residential density .63 203.2 (19.2)* 194.4 (21.6)
Land use mix–diversity .78 3.5 (0.6)* 2.8 (0.7)
Land use mix–access .79 3.2 (0.3)* 2.8 (0.5)
Street connectivity .63 3.2 (0.5)* 2.9 (0.5)
Walking/cycling facilities .58 3.0 (0.3) 3.2 (0.4)**
Aesthetics .79 3.0 (0.5)* 2.8 (0.5)
Pedestrian/traffic safety .77 3.1 (0.5)* 2.7 (0.5)
Crime safety .80 3.1 (0.4) 3.1 (0.5)

Note. Subscale scores ranged from 1 to 4 (with the exceptions of land use mix–diversity [possible range: 1–5] and residential density [possible weighted score range: 177–473]), with higher scores indicating a more favorable value of the environmental characteristic

aIntraclass correlation, R.

*high walkability > low walkability, P < .03; **low walkability > high walkability, P = .003.
