North Burnett · 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 total lack of public transport defines the walkability of North Burnett, where no homes are within a 10-minute walk of a stop. This is a car-dependent area where only 28.1% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the Queensland figure of 59.1%.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is car-dependent with a walkability score of 1.9, far below the Queensland figure of 5.0. On average, people can only find 2.2 amenity types within a 15-minute walk, which is far below the 4.8 found across the state.
1.9
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.
2.2
Lower than 86% 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.
28.1%
Lower than 75% 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.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
Access to basics is limited; for example, only 25.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 33.3% are near a park, both far below Queensland figures. While parks are the most common nearby amenity, 67% of homes are more than a 30-minute walk from the nearest grocery store.

0.0%
Lower than 99% of indigenous area areas.
Share of local homes within a 10-minute walk of a public-transport stop — bus, train, tram or ferry. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
32.8%
Lower than 84% of indigenous area areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
33.3%
Lower than 89% of indigenous area areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or area of open space. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
30.7%
Lower than 65% of indigenous area areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of health services such as a GP, pharmacy or hospital. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The typical terrain slope is 7.4%, which is a little above the Queensland figure of 6.0%. There are zero intersections per square kilometre for street connectivity.
0
Lower than 82% of indigenous area areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
7.4%
Higher than 86% 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.
