Coverage analysis
What 10 minutes on foot covers in Waco.
Brazos River bend city where Lake Waco compresses northwestern isochrones and I-35 creates a dominant north-south suburban corridor.
At 10 minutes on foot, the Waco walk-time isochrone captures the walkable neighbourhood reach — the area where pedestrian customers make routine, repeat visits without any deliberate trip planning — the true walkshed of impulse and convenience. Unlike a simple ≈ 800 m radius circle, the real pedestrian-network polygon follows Waco's actual street grid, accounts for crossings, parks, and dedicated walk paths, and contracts sharply around freeways, rail corridors, and waterways that break pedestrian continuity.
Walk-shed area at 10 minutes: ≈ 0.5–1.5 km² — varies with street connectivity and block size. The 10-minute isochrone is the standard input for pedestrian trade-area analysis, walkability scoring, and proximity-retail siting.
The city-level population of 143,511 and a median household income of $49,200 give a sense of Waco's density, but the figure that matters for walkable-retail siting is the population inside the pedestrian polygon — not the city as a whole. That number shifts dramatically depending on whether you're anchored in a high-density urban core or a lower-density neighbourhood where blocks are long and crossings are scarce. Use the tool above to set your actual candidate address, then generate the isochrone to see the real walk shed.
