I see this is an old thread but since it got bumped I thought I'd say something. I see that a few people rank Vegas fairly high. I lived in North Las Vegas from junior high through high school and unless you're on the strip or Fremont street there is nothing walkable about Vegas.
I change my mind. I'd say New Orleans, Charleston and Savannah. LA and other large urban sunbelt cities, like San Diego, Houston and Phoenix, may have walkable neighborhoods, but the entire city isn't really as walkable as the older ones. Also, not sure about Savannah or Charleston, but New Orleans has a pretty good public transportation system as well.

Cities like Houston wouldn't be bad if they would have kept the middle and upper class in the city. The infrastructure is there, is just lacks activity and population.

Savannah and Charleston are walkable in the core and immediate surrounding neighborhoods, but that's not characteristic of the entire cities. Once you get outside of those areas, you run into this:

I agree, comparing nothing but the walkable sq miles LA, Atlanta, and Houston would have a much larger walkable area in the core than NOLA, Savannah, and Charleston.

Well at the same time, NOLA, Charleston, and Savannah have more walkable areas given the sizes of their cities, and their cores and immediate neighborhoods comprise larger areas relative to the cities as a whole.

But if you're going by relative to the city's size/metro of course, but that's not comparing apples to apples.
