Walkability in Cuballing

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.

Only 35.9% of homes in Cuballing pass the 15-minute-city test, a figure far below the Western Australian average. This makes the area car-dependent, as the typical resident has very few amenities within a short walk of home. Most essential services are simply too far to reach on foot.

The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

A walkability score of 1.7 means Cuballing is car-dependent, which is far below the state figure of 5.4. On average, there are only 2.1 amenity types within a 15-minute walk, also far below the Western Australian average of 5.2.

1.7

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.

2.1

Lower than 89% of council (lga) areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

35.9%

Lower than 72% of council (lga) areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

While nearly half of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, no one can walk to a school, grocery store, or health service in that time. This lack of access is far below state levels, with 100% of homes located more than 30 minutes away from these essential services.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The area has a mean terrain slope of 5.7%, which is about the same as the Western Australian average. There are 39.9 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, far above the state figure, though street connectivity is 0.

39.9

Higher than 81% of council (lga) areas.

Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.

5.7%

Higher than 65% of council (lga) areas.

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.
