South-East · 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 fewer homes in South-East are within easy reach of local services compared to the rest of the state. Most of the area is mostly car-dependent, with a walkability score of 3.4 that is well below the South Australian figure of 5.5.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in South-East by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Only 43.5% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the 67% seen across South Australia. The typical resident has access to only 3.6 different amenity types within a 15-minute walk, well below the state figure of 5.4.
3.4
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.
3.6
Lower than 60% 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.
43.5%
Lower than 56% 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 essentials is limited, with health services being the hardest to reach as 47% of homes are more than 30 minutes away. Parks are the most accessible amenity, with 63.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk, though this is still far below the state average of 84.9%.

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The average terrain slope is 4.4%, which is about the same as the South Australian figure of 4.6%. There are 0 intersections per square kilometre.
0
Lower than 69% 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.
4.4%
Lower 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.
