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 huge 40 percentage point gap in access to health services marks the main struggle for pedestrians in postcode 3580. While many residents can easily reach groceries, the overall walkability score of 4.6 means the area is only somewhat walkable.
