# Walkability — Mara

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.

Area: Mara (Indigenous Location)

No homes in Mara meet the 15-minute-city test, making the area mostly car-dependent. While the typical resident can easily walk to health services and groceries, other essential amenities are much harder to reach on foot. This creates a stark contrast in how accessible different daily needs are for the local community.

The walkability score for Mara is 3.6, which means it is mostly car-dependent. This is well below the Northern Territory figure of 5.1, and far fewer homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to the rest of the territory.

Access to some basics is far above the territory average, with everyone within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 97.7% near health services. However, there is no public transport within a 10-minute walk for any home, and food and drink options are all more than 30 minutes away.

The area has a street connectivity of 88 intersections per square kilometre. Its average terrain slope is 3.9%, which is about the same as the Northern Territory figure of 3.7%.
