The score

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

A car-dependent score of 0.9 marks the area as far below the Northern Territory's 5.1. No homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the 61.8% seen across the Territory.

0.9

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.

0.9

Lower than 90% 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.

0.0%

Lower than 99% 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.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Public transport, schools, and health services are completely out of reach for everyone, with 100% of homes located more than 30 minutes away. While 32.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, this is still far below the Territory figure of 81.6%.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The average terrain slope is 3.0%, which is about the same as the Northern Territory's 3.7%. There are no street intersections per square kilometre.

3.0%

Lower than 82% 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.
