Oran 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.
Only 55.6% of homes in Oran Park meet the 15-minute-city test, a figure far below the New South Wales average. While nearly every home is a short walk to a park, accessing health services and groceries on foot is much harder here. This makes the area's overall walkability score 4.8, which is considered somewhat walkable.

4.8
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. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
