Results for my area vary depending on how specific I am about city, zip code, and address. I can get scores ranging from 20-90 (Southern California btw). The high scores are bogus since they're for a tiny "downtown" area with very little housing nearby, and the low scores are skewed by steep hills. No transit score because transit may as well be a joke here.
But having lived other places, I'd say that my city should get marks about 55 for bikeable, and 25 for walkable (only because of how spread out things are, sidewalks are consistently very nice here actually). That almost nobody here walks or bikes to go places is something I will never understand - this is a beautiful place with near perfect weather for being outdoors almost every day of the year. I understand people living far from where they work due to housing costs being high may have to drive for their commute, but the people at the grocery store, hardware store, bank, etc. presumably live nearby and aren't driving from multiple cities away for those trips, so why not walk or bike for these local errands? Personally, most of the miles I put on my car involve going to/from LAX airport and I use a bicycle essentially all of my local needs, and I hope I'm setting a good example for my neighbors but frankly I have no real hope of things changing here...
