Clark · 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.
Almost 70% of homes in Clark pass the 15-minute-city test, meaning residents can reach five or more different types of amenities on foot. This makes the area very walkable, with a score of 6.4 that is well above the Tasmanian figure of 4.7.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Clark 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.
People in Clark have access to nearly six different amenity types within a 15-minute walk, which is well above the state average of 4.5. This high level of access means far more homes here fit the 15-minute-city model compared to the rest of Tasmania.
6.4
Very 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.

11.2%
Higher than 99% 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.
