Where daily life is within walking distance
Ranked on everyday errands within reach (supermarkets per resident and how densely built the town is) and on reported crime.
Worth knowing: No town in Puerto Rico is genuinely car-free: public transit carries under 4% of commuters even in San Juan. This ranks how much of daily life is within walking distance, which is a different question.

How this ranking is calculated
Each town is ranked against the others on every measure below: its position, not its raw number, so one unusual town cannot distort the scale. Those positions are then combined using these weights:
- 40% Supermarkets per 10,000 residents
- 40% Residents per sq mi
- 20% Reported serious crime per 10,000 residents
A town missing a measure counts as middle of the pack on it, neither penalized nor lifted by the gap, and shows — in that column. A figure marked ± has a wide margin of error: the sample is small, so read it as approximate.
Venue and amenity counts come from a public map that volunteers keep, so rural towns can be under-represented next to the San Juan metro. Where fewer than 3 places of a kind are on the map, the rate shows — and the town is ranked on its other measures.
