Walkability in Moora

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 walkability score of 2.7 makes Moora mostly car-dependent, which is far below the Western Australian figure of 5.4. While some residents can reach parks or schools on foot, the area struggles with basic access to shops and transport. This means most people will need a car for their daily errands.

The score

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

Only 57.6% of homes in Moora have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is well below the Western Australian average of 64.0%. Residents have access to far fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than is typical for the state.

2.7

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.

3.5

Lower than 61% 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.

57.6%

Higher than 58% 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.

3.2%

Lower than 76% 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.
