Narromine · Council (LGA)
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.
A very flat landscape with a 2.2% average slope defines Narromine, though the area remains somewhat walkable with a score of 4.2. Only 54.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 71.9%. This means many residents still rely on cars for daily trips.

4.2
Somewhat walkable of council (lga) 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.
