Ormiston · 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 lack of nearby health services is the main drawback for Ormiston, where only 12.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of care—far below the Queensland figure of 47.8%. Otherwise, the area is very walkable, with 82.3% of homes situated in a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far above the state average.

6.1
Very 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.
