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.
Almost all the basic needs are within a short stroll for Keilor residents, except for health services which are much harder to reach on foot. This makes the area very walkable overall, with 87.3% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed, a figure far above the Victorian average.

6.7
Very 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.
