abstract="† Based on response to the survey question, &quot;Does crime make it unsafe for you to walk?&quot; The interviewer could have added &quot;where you live&quot; for clarification if necessary. This question was asked as part of a series of questions (including questions regarding traffic, weather, and the availability and quality of sidewalks and roads) on the sample adult's perception of their walking environment.   § Estimates were based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized U.S. population.   In 2020, 11.0% of adults aged ≥18 years felt that crime made it unsafe for them to walk. Percentages were lower for men (8.9%) than for women (13.0%). Men were less likely than women to feel unsafe walking because of crime in all age groups (18-24 years: 9.3% of men compared with 17.1% of women; 25-44 years: 10.1% of men compared with 14.1% of women; 45-64 years: 8.9% of men compared with 12.7% of women; ≥65 years: 6.5% of men compared with 9.9% of women). Among both sexes, adults aged ≥65 years were less likely to feel unsafe to walk than those in younger age groups.
