Yorke Peninsula
5,393 km²
A walkability score of 2.4 marks the Yorke Peninsula as a region where most people rely on cars to get around. This sprawling landscape is largely non-residential in many parts, creating a community where essential services are spread far apart. While the area is quite vast, it maintains a distinct rural character with a population that is generally disconnected from the urban convenience found in the state's larger hubs.
