Berowra · Federal Electorate
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
A little steeper than the state average, the terrain in Berowra contributes to a walkability score of 5.3, meaning it is somewhat walkable. While many residents can easily reach a park or train station, far fewer homes have a full range of daily services within a 15-minute walk compared to the rest of New South Wales.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score of 5.3 puts the area in the somewhat walkable category, which is a little below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. Only 60.3% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result far below the state average.
5.3
Somewhat walkable of federal electorate areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
5.1
Lower than 55% of federal electorate areas.
How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.
60.3%
Lower than 55% of federal electorate areas.
Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The average terrain slope is 9.6%, a little above the New South Wales average of 6.8%. There are 14 intersections per square kilometre, and the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is far above the state average.
24.9
Higher than 99% of federal electorate areas.
Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.
14
Lower than 67% of federal electorate areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
9.6%
Higher than 97% of federal electorate areas.
Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
