Franklin Harbour · 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 gentle average slope of 3.4% makes Franklin Harbour slightly flatter than other South Australian areas, yet it remains mostly car-dependent. Only about half of all homes are within a 15-minute walk of basic amenities, which is far below the state average.

3.5
Mostly car-dependent 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.
