Stirling North · 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.
Fewer homes have easy walking access to local services in Stirling North compared to the rest of South Australia. While public transport is very close for most, the area is mostly car-dependent for daily needs. No one can walk to a grocery store or health service within 15 minutes.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 3.6, meaning the area is mostly car-dependent. This is well below the South Australian figure of 5.5, and far fewer homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed than the state average.
3.6
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.
3.8
Lower than 57% 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.
53.7%
Higher than 55% 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.

28
Higher than 59% 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.
2.5%
Lower than 92% 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.
