Hinkler · 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.
Much lower accessibility than the state average defines Hinkler, where the walkability score of 3.4 means the area is mostly car-dependent. Only 37.2% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the Queensland figure of 59.1%. This makes it a place where most people rely on vehicles to get around.

3.4
Mostly car-dependent 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.
