If a destination is close enough to walk to, what keeps people from walking there? A 2025 CDC study asked U.S. adults what prevented them from regularly walking to places within a 10-minute walk of home. Nearly 8 in 10 reported at least one barrier. Hot or humid conditions were the most common reason at 36 percent, followed by having no places they wanted or needed to walk to at 25 percent, preferring to drive or be driven at 22 percent, and finding walking inconvenient at 22 percent. Missing or poorly maintained sidewalks and feeling unsafe were also reported barriers.
