6.9

Very 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.

6.7

Higher than 89% 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.

90.5%

Higher than 91% 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.

Access to basics is far above the state average, especially for public transport (95.1% of homes) and parks (98.1%). While most people are close to a stop or green space, health services are the least accessible amenity, with only 66.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk.

Streets & terrain

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

The street network has 197 intersections per square kilometre. This connectivity is paired with a mean terrain slope of 3.8%, which is about the same as the rest of South Australia.

3.8%

Lower than 66% 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.
