The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A walkability score of 0.2 means this area is car-dependent. It is far below the Northern Territory figure of 5.1, with typical homes having access to far fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than most other parts of the territory.
0.2
Car-dependent of postcode 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.
