Homes and Services Along the Walk

The shaded area covers the loop of the walking route plus about 150 m (≈500 ft) outside it. It bulges out in three spots to take in nearby services (the Education Service District and Holly Theater, Medford Police and Lausmann Annex, and Station 71five with its bus stop) and is trimmed around two lone houses at its edge. Every number below counts only what is inside the shading. Medford, OR.

Reading the tiles: tiles marked map icons or stops count the places with icons on the map. Homes, Businesses and Other buildings count building outlines from county records, shown as colored buildings rather than icons, so the two kinds of numbers differ (a place can span several buildings, and some places, like Health & Human Services or the school, are government-owned buildings). Walk times run from each home to its nearest one inside the shading. Typical home is the middle home (half walk less, half more). Farthest home is the worst-off home's walk to its own nearest one, not the walk to the farthest service. Parks, the school and the field count from their nearest edge. Times use the pace from the photo walk (≈ 2.2 mph, from the photo timestamps; the #4→#5 stretch with the food stop is left out).
