This omission can lead to overestimating the role of the built environment in shaping walking behavior. There remains a critical gap in understanding how much walking behavior is truly influenced by environmental features versus personal preferences. This study investigates the following research questions: (1) What percentage of residents consider walkability important and actually choose to walk to grocery stores? (2) Do individuals who walk perceive their built environments more favorably than those who do not? (3) How does the built environment influence walking behavior when accounting for residential self-selection?</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This study analyzed survey data from 975 respondents in Orlando, Florida, targeting adults aged 18 and above.
