# Walkability — Avon

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.

Area: Avon (Indigenous Area)

Only 33.3% of homes in Avon pass the 15-minute-city test, a figure far below the Western Australian average of 64.0%. This makes the area mostly car-dependent, with very few essential services within a reasonable walk for most residents.

Avon has a walkability score of 2.4, which is far below the state figure of 5.4. On average, there are only 2.7 amenity types within a 15-minute walk, compared to 5.2 across Western Australia.

Access to essentials is limited, with only 19.8% of homes near public transport and 29.7% near health services, both far below state levels. While parks are the most common amenity, 61% of homes are more than 30 minutes' walk from health services.

The mean terrain slope is 5.7%, which is about the same as the Western Australian average. There are zero intersections per square kilometre in terms of street connectivity.
