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.
Frequent access to groceries and health services helps the walkability of postcode 6798, though it remains mostly car-dependent. While 83.4% of homes can reach groceries within 15 minutes, other essential services and public transport are much harder to reach on foot. This creates a landscape where daily shopping is easy for most, but other trips usually require a vehicle.
