This study examined the association between selected sociodemographic, health, and built environmental factors and walking behaviors of middle-aged and older overweight\/obese adults.<jats:italic> Methods<\/jats:italic>. Subjective data were obtained from surveys administered to community-dwelling overweight\/obese adults aged \u226550 years residing in four Texas cities from October 2013 to June 2014, along with objective data on neighborhood walkability (Walk Score\u2122). Multivariate logistic regression identified factors predicting the odds of walking the recommended \u2265150 minutes per week for any purpose.<jats:italic> Results<\/jats:italic>. Of 253 participants, the majority were non-Hispanic white (81.8%), married (74.5%), and male (53.4%) and reported an annual income of \u2265$50,000 (65.5%).
