It is pretty obvious to me.
The northern (and older) cities and even the smaller communities in this
part of the country have a much better set of land use patterns (less
dispersed, smaller lot sizes, more housing near job sites etc etc) that are
more amenable towards walk trips.

Subject: RE: [CTPP] US States Rankings for Means of Transportation to Work
It is interesting to note that 4 of the top 5
walk-to-work states are
northern (i.e. cold) states. While the bottom two are southern states. I
would have thought it would be the other way around. Any thoughts about
why
this is? Income, sidewalk connectivity, climate??
