Elliott · 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.
Zero per cent of homes in Elliott pass the 15-minute-city test, making it far less walkable than the Northern Territory average. While some basic services are close by, the area is mostly car-dependent with a walkability score of 2.8. This is far below the territory figure of 5.1.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is mostly car-dependent, with a walkability score of 2.8, which is far below the Northern Territory's 5.1. Only 3.2 types of amenities are within a 15-minute walk, well below the territory average of 5.0.
2.8
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.
3.2
Lower than 69% 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.
0.0%
Lower than 99% 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.

Higher than 72% 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.

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.
