The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

Typical residents have access to about 6.1 different amenity types within a 15-minute walk. This is a little above the state average of 5.4.

6.2

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.

6.1

Higher than 78% of indigenous location 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.

80.3%

Higher than 76% 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.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Public transport and parks are the easiest to reach, with 97% and 98.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk, far above state figures. Health services are the hardest to access by comparison, though 64.3% of homes are still within a 15-minute walk, which is far above the state average.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The local terrain has a mean slope of 6.0%, which is a little above the South Australian figure of 4.6%. There are 113 street intersections per square kilometre.

6.0%

Higher than 73% 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.
