Pingelly · 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 handful of essential services are within a short stroll for many in Pingelly, though a 4.5 walkability score means the town is only somewhat walkable. While health services are surprisingly accessible, getting to public transport on foot is much harder for residents than in other parts of the state.

4.5
Somewhat walkable 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.
