Logan · 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.
Far more homes in Logan are within walking distance of parks, schools and transport than in the typical Queensland suburb. This makes the area somewhat walkable, with an overall score of 4.7. However, these gains are offset by poor access to health services and groceries.

4.7
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.
