EcoScore Ratings

CategoryScore (out of 10)Insights
Green Space8Anaheim maintains ~60 parks over 800 acres, including large community and special-use parks like Oak Canyon Nature Center (58 acres) and Yorba Regional Park nearby.
Walkability6City-wide walk score is modest—around 56. However, neighborhoods like North Euclid (Walk Score: 73) and The Colony (67) offer very walkable residential areas.
Transit Access5Anaheim has some transit via OCTA buses, but limited density and high car reliance moderate access.
Air Quality7Coastal influence and citywide green coverage help maintain reasonably clean air, though urban congestion can impact local air quality.
Noise & Light Pollution6Downtown, tourist-heavy zones like Disneyland and the Convention Center introduce noise and lights. Suburban neighborhoods are quieter.

Why It Matters

Anaheim is more than amusement—it’s a city with real livability flavor. From green havens and nature preserves to urban walkable pockets, eco-conscious living is possible—just not evenly. EcoScore helps highlight these strengths and trade-offs that typical housing listings don’t reveal.
