Perceptions of Walkability in the West Riverside Neighborhood, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Abstract

In collaboration with the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and the Eau Claire City County Health Department (ECCCHD), we surveyed residents in the Eau Claire West Riverside neighborhood to examine resident perceptions of walkability and to identify socio-demographic correlates of walkability perceptions (Fig. 1). This analysis will provide insights about walkability from the residents of this neighborhood, assist in the identification of strategies that may improve walkability and health, and inform on-going efforts to support healthy neighborhood developments.
