Oxley · 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 typical slope of 6.1% defines the landscape of Oxley, where the area is rated as somewhat walkable. While it is a little above the Queensland average for walkability, the most striking feature is that nearly 98% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park.

5.5
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.
