Based on my experience this makes sense. Atlanta has the most pedestrian friendly core. Houston does seem to have many islands of pedestrian friendliness mre spread out (hear it continues to improve in ths regard but and issue with a place spread out)

1a. Houston
1b. Atlanta
3. Dallas

Atlanta and Dallas has more connection with their neighborhoods. Houston is more dense than Atlanta and Dallas.

Really, there isn't much of a difference between the three. All three are improving.

No it doesn't have the most density, but it seems more walkable than Houston.
The core of Dallas is very walkable, connected and convenient. It is very underated in this category.

Nairobi didn't say Atlanta has the most density, but that it has the densest neighborhoods. There is a big difference between those two statements...I don't know if it's true or not, but just wanted to try and clarify.

Yes definitely a difference there. The State-Thomas area of Uptown Dallas is the most densely developed, walkable area outside of a CBD I've seen in the cities mentioned. It looks like areas of Philly, Boston, DC add in the historic trolleys running on McKinney Avenue and you have a pretty unique neighborhood for the southern half of the country.
