Infographic: Could You Survive Without a Car in Salem?

Salem, MA—Few people would mind never having to pay upwards of $60 to fill up their gas tank, but we all know that is not a possibility in many communities.

In Salem, some residents may find themselves hopping in the car to complete the most necessary tasks. What would happen if you didn't have a car? Would you be able to survive without one?

FindTheHome.com attempted to tackle that question. The real estate listing and research website issued a "WalkIQ" walkability score for every city and town in Essex County. The WalkIQ is a relative score measured by finding the number of stores, amenities, points of interest and parks that are within walking distance for the median home in each community/

Communities were given a score between 0 and 100 Salem received a "WalkIQ" of 91, was the highest score in the county besides parts of Lynn and Lawrence. Neighboring communities such as Beverly received a score of 80, and Peabody received a score of 60.
