Narromine · Indigenous Area
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 very flat landscape defines Narromine, though its overall walkability score of 4.1 is well below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. This makes the town somewhat walkable, but far fewer homes have easy access to a range of nearby services compared to the state average.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Only 53.9% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 71.9%. On average, residents can reach 4.5 different types of amenities within a 15-minute walk, well below the state average of 5.8.
4.1
Somewhat walkable of indigenous area 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.
4.5
Higher than 63% of indigenous area areas.
How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.
53.9%
Higher than 60% of indigenous area areas.
Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
Access to health services is about the same as the state average, but other amenities lag behind. While 65.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, only 48.8% can reach groceries in that time, both of which are far below New South Wales figures.

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The average terrain slope is just 2.2%, which is well below the New South Wales average of 6.8%. Street connectivity is recorded at 0 intersections per square kilometre.
0
Lower than 81% of indigenous area areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
2.2%
Lower than 99% of indigenous area 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.
