Leonora · 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.
Few essential services are within a short stroll for most people in Leonora, which is mostly car-dependent. While about 61% of homes are within 15 minutes of groceries, only 23% can reach health services in that time. This lack of nearby options means the area is far less walkable than the state average.

2.3
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.
