5089, SA · Postcode
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.
Steeper hills than the state average make postcode 5089 a bit more challenging for pedestrians. While most homes are close to parks and transport, the area is only somewhat walkable with a score of 4.6. This is partly because essential services like groceries and health clinics are much harder to reach on foot than in other South Australian areas.
