How we measured this

We measure a straight line from the center of each neighborhood to the nearest beach. Straight lines cross rivers and freeways, so the trip on foot or by car is longer.

What would change the answer

A large neighborhood's center can be far from its edge, so someone living on the edge may be closer or farther than this number.
