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.
A far lower share of homes can reach health services within 15 minutes compared to the state average, which stands out for postcode 3228. While many residents live very close to parks and transport, the overall walkability is just somewhat walkable. This creates a mixed experience where some daily trips are easy and others require a car.
