Pine Creek · 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.
Almost 88% of homes in Pine Creek pass the 15-minute-city test, though the area remains mostly car-dependent. While many residents can easily reach a few key services on foot, a total lack of nearby groceries and public transport keeps the overall walkability score low.

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

3.9
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.

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.
