Fadden · 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.
Fadden is far more connected to public transport and parks than most Queensland areas, though it struggles with access to health services. The area is rated as somewhat walkable, but only about half of the homes have easy walking access to a variety of local amenities.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A walkability score of 5.1 means Fadden is somewhat walkable, which is about the same as the Queensland figure. However, only 50.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result well below the state average.
5.1
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.
4.5
Lower than 69% 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.
50.6%
Lower than 71% 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.

11.1
Lower than 85% 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.
46
Lower than 55% 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.
5.2%
Lower than 58% 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.
