The real order is…
    It's Alaska, not New York! It has the largest share of workers who walk.
    📚 Background Not New York — Alaska has the largest share of workers who walk to work, with New York #2. Why? These numbers can't say on their own. Alaska's geography — many small, far-apart communities — is the explanation people usually reach for. (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2023)
