Amoonguna · 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.
Far fewer everyday amenities are within walking distance in Amoonguna than in other parts of the Northern Territory. While almost every home is close to a park or school, the area is car-dependent because there are no shops, health services, or transport stops nearby.

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.
