Regents Park · 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.
Far more homes in Regents Park have a 15-minute-city walkshed than the New South Wales figure, with 91% of residents able to reach several amenities on foot. While the area is considered somewhat walkable, this convenience is lopsided; most people can easily reach a park or station, but almost no one can walk to a doctor.

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.
