Tweed Coast · Indigenous Location
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.
Flatter land with a 4.1% average slope makes Tweed Coast an easier place to get around on foot than the state average. It is considered somewhat walkable, though only 62.9% of homes have a full range of amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is well below the New South Wales figure.

5.4
Somewhat walkable of indigenous location 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.
5.1

62.9%
Higher than 63% of indigenous location 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.

11
Lower than 53% of indigenous location areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
4.1%
Lower than 56% of indigenous location 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.
