Are the people that live in walkable neighborhoods wealthier than the average US citizen? Maybe it’s not the neighborhood but the freedom from financial stress.

- droidist2 3y agoYes, but a huge reason for that is that they're so rare that there are way more people that want to live there than the supply, so they fetch a premium.
- justaman 3y agoYeah, they are called small towns. I've lived in two small towns in the last decade. One had about 5,000 people; a grocery stores, bars, churches, post office, and a small movie theater all within a mile end-to-end. The other, an even smaller town of ~800 had a dollar store(not a real grocery store), old downtown with various small businesses and a vibrant community. All within about a half a mile end-to-end. Small towns have much less wealth than metropolitan areas.
