Lingiari · 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 flat terrain with a slope of 3.8% does not make Lingiari easy to navigate on foot, as it is mostly car-dependent. Only 36.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the Northern Territory figure of 61.8%. Residents generally have very few amenities within reach of their front doors.

3.2
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.
