Flinders Ranges · 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.
A small number of basic amenities are within reach for the few people living in the Flinders Ranges, making the area mostly car-dependent. While some residents can find parks or transport nearby, most everyday services are far beyond a short walk.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score for the Flinders Ranges is 3.0, which means it is mostly car-dependent. This is far below the South Australian figure of 5.5, and only 33.1% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed.
3.0
Mostly car-dependent 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.
3.1
Lower than 66% 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.
33.1%
Lower than 64% 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.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
Access to services is far below the state average, with only 26.2% of homes near health services and 31.1% near groceries. While 54.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, a huge 58% of residents must walk more than 30 minutes to reach health services.
31.1%
Lower than 68% of indigenous location areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or everyday shopping. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
44.4%
Lower than 51% of indigenous location areas.
Share of local homes within a 10-minute walk of a public-transport stop — bus, train, tram or ferry. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
40.4%
Lower than 70% of indigenous location areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
54.5%
Lower than 71% of indigenous location areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or area of open space. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
26.2%
Lower than 62% of indigenous location areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of health services such as a GP, pharmacy or hospital. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The mean terrain slope is 3.8%, which is about the same as the South Australian figure of 4.6%. Street connectivity is 0 intersections per square kilometre.
0
Lower than 83% of indigenous location areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
3.8%
Lower than 61% 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.
