Fewer D.C. residents are owning cars, mostly because it’s easy to enough to get around otherwise. You can walk, bike, use public transit, or merely rent a car by the minute or the hour. Car-sharing has been a big hit in D.C.; we were the second city in the country to get ZipCar, and last year’s arrival of car2go saw the rent-by-the-minute service explode in popularity.

Last week WalkScore tallied up the best Top 10 Cities for Car-Sharing Cities across the U.S., and D.C. placed fifth behind New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Portland. We stood just ahead of Seattle, San Diego, Miami, and Boston.

Within D.C., WalkScore tallied up the most popular neighborhoods for car-sharing, and they’re not particularly surprising: Columbia Heights, Capitol Hill and Downtown.
