Like a "walkscore," which defines the walkability of a neighborhood, "wokescore" defines the degree to which a specific location in a city is more likely to be home to woke people, that is, usually white people who maintain a position of perceived moral high ground because they ostensibly buy into social justice shit.
Wokescore is measured by the density of people in a given area who recklessly engage in "callout" culture ("Um, did you know that what you just said is racist?"), read websites like Jezebel.com, Huffington Post, ThinkProgress, follow Deray McKesson on Twitter, and stock their bookshelves with smart people books about social inequality, racial justice, or feminism, and especially how much they talk about these things, especially to exonerate their own guilt about how little they actually do to address any of these causes.

"Dude, I checked out this sick apartment yesterday. The tenants that are in there had a sweet library, too, like, James Baldwin, Richard Wright-- all this feminist shit, too, man."
"Oh, yeah, that block has a great Wokescore! Are you gonna take it?"
"Yeah, but I don't want to, you know, contribute to gentrification, right?"
"Yeah, for sure. For sure."

Get the wokeswagon mug.Instantaneous and convulsive wokeness that overcomes a person like a chest-burster from the movie Alien. It usually happens in response to the outrage headline du jour, and often coupled with wokenesia.
The reporter found out about Jeff Bezos' seemingly small donation for the Australian fires and had a wokespasm before fact checking Bezos' other charitable contributions. Even if the outrage is justified, it is still a wokespasm because no effort was made to consider all the facts before the convulsions of wokeness overtook the reporter.
USAGE NOTE: Although wokeness and wokespasms are often seen as progressive and libtard afflictions, conservatives also exhibit plenty of wokeness and have wokespasms. For instance, it is common to see conservatives provide a whataboutism in response to a wokespasm; and their whataboutism is often a wokespasm in response to a conveniently fabricated outrage du jour, or even a past event suddenly become outrage. Sometimes they are also straw man arguments. On the other hand, wokespasms often quickly turn into what a Trumpster era conservative would consider fake news. Wing nuts on both sides are guilty of wokespasms.
