The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Residents typically have 6.3 different types of amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is a little above the state average of 5.2. This ease of access is why nearly 89% of homes are considered part of a 15-minute-city walkshed, far above the 64% seen across Western Australia.
6.5
Very 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.
