Wicked good, Boston!

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, "Boston had the highest percentage among large cities of employees who walk to work (13 percent). Nationally, 2.5 percent of us walked to work." That's based on data recently published from the 2005 American Community Survey.

Cheers to Boston! But before you quaff your brew, there's a bit of gloom in Beantown cause the trend line is down ... from 14 percent walking commuters in 1990. For those wanting a closer look at trends in the Hub, there's plenty of info. on the Boston Indicators Project web page.

And we won't say which U.S. city is at the bottom of the charts with a walk-to-work percentage of 0.9, except to give you three small hints: it's in Texas; it's home of a major league baseball team; and it's name does not begin with the letter "H."
