Hope Vale · 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 gentle terrain slope of 4.1% makes for easy walking in Hope Vale, but the area remains mostly car-dependent. While many people can walk to the local school or shop, there are far fewer types of amenities nearby than in the rest of Queensland.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 2.2, which means the area is mostly car-dependent. This is far below the Queensland figure of 5.0, and no homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed.
2.2
Mostly car-dependent 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.

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.
