The score

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

The walkability score for Redland is 5.1, which means it is somewhat walkable. This is about the same as the Queensland figure of 5.0.

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.

5.0

Higher than 73% 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.

61.4%

Higher than 72% 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.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Residents have great access to nature and transit, with 90.3% of homes near a park and 71.9% near public transport, both well above the state average. However, health services are a struggle, as 43.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk, which is well below the 47.8% seen across Queensland.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The area has a mean terrain slope of 5.0%, which is about the same as the state average of 6.0%. There are 33 intersections per square kilometre.

5.0%

Higher than 55% 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.
