Strathfieldsaye · 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.
Public transport stops are common in Strathfieldsaye, but very few other services are nearby. This means that while a stop might be close, most residents must rely on cars to reach shops or doctors. Only 19.7% of homes have the basic services needed for a 15-minute city, which is far below the Victorian figure of 74.3%.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A walkability score of 3.5 means the area is mostly car-dependent, far below the Victorian figure of 6.4. On average, people can only find 3.1 types of amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is far below the state average of 6.0.
3.5
Mostly car-dependent 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.

35
Lower than 65% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
4.4%
Lower than 66% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
