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.
Only 52.6% of homes in Minto pass the 15-minute-city test, a figure far below the New South Wales average. While the area is considered somewhat walkable, it is a place of contrasts where parks and transport are nearby, but essential health services are very hard to reach on foot.

5.2
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.
