# Walkability — Shoalhaven

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.

Area: Shoalhaven (Indigenous Area)

Only 38.2% of homes in Shoalhaven are within a 15-minute walk of a school, which is far below the state average. This creates a significant gap in accessibility, as the area is generally considered somewhat walkable but lacks easy walking access to essential services. While parks and transport are often nearby, many residents must rely on cars for basic needs.

A walkability score of 4.2 means the area is somewhat walkable, though this is well below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. Only 43.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the state average of 71.9%.

Public transport and parks are the most accessible, with 82.7% and 83.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk. In contrast, health services are the hardest to reach, with only 29.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk, far below the state figure of 57.1%.

The terrain has a mean slope of 6.0%, which is about the same as the New South Wales average of 6.8%. There are 3 intersections per square kilometre.
