Which Neighborhoods Walk the Most in Spring?... Carrot Reveals Rankings

Seoul Nowon-gu Ranks First in the Metropolitan Area

On April 17, Carrot released the ranking of regions by average number of steps, based on user data from its pedometer service "Dongnegeotgi" over the past month (March 16 to April 15).

Among metropolitan areas, Nowon-gu in Seoul ranked first for the highest average number of steps, with users walking an average of 7,373 steps per day. The abundance of green spaces such as Suraksan Mountain, Bulamsan Mountain, and Jungnangcheon Stream trails appears to have had a positive impact on residents’ daily walking habits. Jung-gu in Seoul (7,353 steps), Dobong-gu (7,307 steps), Jongno-gu (7,182 steps), and Yeongdeungpo-gu (7,144 steps) followed, resulting in all of the top five metropolitan regions being located in Seoul.

Outside the metropolitan area, Dong-gu in Ulsan topped the list with 6,470 steps, followed by Namhae-gun in Gyeongnam (6,452 steps), Goesan-gun in Chungbuk (6,420 steps), Seongsan-gu in Changwon, Gyeongnam (6,333 steps), and Jung-gu in Busan (6,292 steps).

As the weather became warmer, overall user activity showed a clear rebound. The average daily number of steps taken by users in the past month rose by about 8.3% compared to the previous month (February 16 to March 15).

The region with the largest increase nationwide was Inje-gun in Gangwon Province. Inje-gun saw a 21.5% increase in steps during the same period, the highest rate of growth in the country. This trend is believed to reflect that areas experiencing severe cold in winter tend to see a significant rise in activity levels during the spring.

A Carrot representative stated, "We will continue to enhance our service so that users can enjoy exploring every corner of their neighborhoods with Carrot and create healthy daily routines."
