Ravenshoe · 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.
Nearly 78% of homes in Ravenshoe can reach five or more different types of amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is far above the Queensland figure. This makes the town center very accessible for daily needs, though the overall walkability score of 4.8 means it is considered somewhat walkable.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A 15-minute walk from home reaches about 5.5 different amenity types, which is a little above the Queensland average of 4.8. This helps explain why so many more homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to the state average.
4.8
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.

6.5%
Higher than 78% 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.
