EcoScore is our data-based tool that rates neighborhoods by green space, transit access, walkability, air quality, and more—so families can make smarter, eco-conscious housing choices.


EcoScore Ratings
| Category | Score (out of 10) | Insights |
|---|---|---|
| Green Space | 8 | Anaheim 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. |
| Walkability | 6 | City-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 Access | 5 | Anaheim has some transit via OCTA buses, but limited density and high car reliance moderate access. |
| Air Quality | 7 | Coastal influence and citywide green coverage help maintain reasonably clean air, though urban congestion can impact local air quality. |
| Noise & Light Pollution | 6 | Downtown, 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.
