7.1

Very walkable 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.

7.0

Higher than 86% of postcode areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

96.3%

Higher than 92% of postcode areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of public transport, parks, and groceries, which is far above South Australian figures. While most essentials are close, health services are the hardest to reach, with 16% of homes located more than 30 minutes away.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The land is relatively flat with a mean slope of 2.7%, which is a little below the state average. There are 243 intersections per square kilometre and 12.1 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is well below the South Australian figure of 16.3.

2.7%

Lower than 93% of postcode areas.

Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
