Walkability in Nulleywah

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 gentle average slope of 3.2% makes Nulleywah slightly flatter than the Western Australian average, yet it remains mostly car-dependent. While every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park and a school, other essential services are much harder to reach on foot.

The score

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

The walkability score is 4.0, which means the area is mostly car-dependent and sits well below the Western Australian figure of 5.4. Only half of the homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result far below the 64% seen across the state.

4.0

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.

5.0

Higher than 62% 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.

50.0%

Higher than 51% 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.

Access to parks and schools is far above state levels, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of both. In contrast, no homes are within walking distance of public transport or health services, and only half the community can walk to groceries.

Streets & terrain

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

The area has 33 intersections per square kilometre. The terrain is relatively flat, with a mean slope that is a little below the state average.

3.2%

Lower than 77% 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.
