Mount Annan · 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.
A gentle average slope of 5.7% helps the walkability of Mount Annan, though it remains somewhat walkable overall. While almost every home is near a park, very few residents can reach health services or groceries on foot. This creates a contrast where nature and transport are accessible, but daily essentials often require a car.

Somewhat walkable of statistical area 2 (sa2) 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.
