Wyong · 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.
Public transport is very easy to reach in Wyong, but other daily services are harder to find on foot. While most people can walk to a stop or a park, only about half of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. This makes the area somewhat walkable, though it sits a little below the New South Wales average.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

5.1
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.

5.4%
Higher than 61% 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.
