Wright · 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.
Only 17.8% of homes in Wright pass the 15-minute-city test, a figure far below the Queensland average of 59.1%. This is a car-dependent area where very few residents can reach a variety of essential services on foot. Most people rely on vehicles to get around due to a lack of nearby amenities.

1.9
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.
