*Destination presence/diversity measures represent the number of different types of facilities falling in the same destination category found in a neighbourhood.
†Destination prevalence measures for a specific destination category (eg, restaurants) represent the sum of the number of neighbourhood street segments with specific destination types (eg, specific types of restaurants) falling within the destination category.
‡Safety-related, infrastructure-related and aesthetic-related measures represent the percentage of the highest obtainable scores averaged across street segments falling within a neighbourhood.
