This might just be realistic about the median American's tolerance for walking. Most Americans live in suburbs that are not walkable. At least, I know my own tolerance for walking is very abnormal for an American, and it's due to having lived in walking-oriented cities like Berkeley.

It's also realistic about crimes in certain cities.
Care to expand on this implication?
I'm outside the US and I regularly get directions with 15-20 min walking.
You might be on to something.

This might be unrealistic about the number and relevance of Median-Americans. Turns out more than a few Americans that are outside of the median own telephones.
