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.
A very gentle slope makes walking easy in postcode 6754, though the area is only somewhat walkable overall. While nearly all residents live within a short walk of a park or health service, there is a total lack of nearby public transport. This creates a stark contrast between the ease of reaching local services and the need for a car to travel further.
