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.
Few essential services are within easy reach for most people in postcode 5203, which is mostly car-dependent. While there are more amenities per person than the South Australian figure, only 46.1% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, far below the state's 67.0%. This means that while services exist, they are too spread out to be practical for most residents on foot.
