Singleton Surrounds · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
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.
Steeper terrain with a typical slope of 9.4% makes Singleton Surrounds a car-dependent area. Very few people can reach daily needs on foot, as the walkability score of 0.3 is far below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. This is a place where most residents rely on vehicles for almost every trip.
