The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

The walkability score is 1.6, meaning the area is car-dependent. This is far below the South Australian figure of 5.5, and 0.0% of homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to 67.0% across the state.

1.6

Car-dependent 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.

1.8

Lower than 78% 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.

0.0%

Lower than 99% 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.

Access to daily needs is limited, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While 47.1% of homes are within 15 minutes of a school, this is far below the state figure of 68.4%.

Streets & terrain

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

The terrain is a little steeper than the state average, with a mean slope of 6.9%. There is one intersection per square kilometre, and there are 13.3 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is a little below the South Australian figure of 16.3.

13.3

Lower than 69% of postcode areas.

Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.

6.9%

Higher than 74% 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.
