Holt · 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.
Public transport and parks are very close for most people in Holt, but health services are much harder to reach on foot. This makes the area somewhat walkable, with a score of 5.6, which is a little below the Victorian figure of 6.4.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Holt by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Around 69.4% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is well below the 74.3% seen across Victoria. The number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk is also a little below the state average.
5.6
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.

3.0%
Lower than 96% 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.
