Wickham · 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.
Just over half of homes in Wickham pass the 15-minute-city test, which is far below the Western Australian figure of 64%. This makes the area mostly car-dependent, as residents often struggle to reach a variety of essential services on foot.

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.
