# Walkability — Glenorchy

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.

Area: Glenorchy (Council (LGA))

Almost every home in Glenorchy is within a short walk of a park or bus stop, but far fewer have easy access to health services. This makes the area somewhat walkable, with a score of 5.6, which is a little above the Tasmania figure of 4.7.

A 15-minute walk from home brings residents to about 5.2 different types of amenities, which is a little above the state average. Around 57.9% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a figure well above the 53.9% seen across Tasmania.

Access to transport is a major strength, with 93.8% of homes near public transport and 97.2% near a park, both far above the state average. However, health services are the hardest essential amenity to reach, as 17% of residents live more than 30 minutes away on foot.

The area has 30 street intersections per square kilometre and a typical terrain slope of 9.7%, which is about the same as the state figure. There are 17.1 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is a little below the Tasmania figure of 20.5.
