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.
Far fewer homes are near public transport than in the rest of the state, which helps explain why postcode 6260 is mostly car-dependent. Only 28.5% of residents can walk to a stop in 10 minutes, a gap of over 50 points compared to Western Australia. This makes the area much harder to navigate on foot than the state average.
