The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score for the area is 5.1, meaning it is considered somewhat walkable. This is about the same as the Northern Territory average, with residents typically having about five different types of amenities within a 15-minute walk.
5.1
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.

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.
