Carina · 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 very walkable environment defines Carina, where a huge 86.6% of homes fall within a 15-minute-city walkshed. This is far above the Queensland figure of 59.1%, making it an area where most daily needs are easily met on foot.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area earns a walkability score of 7.3, which is considered very walkable and well above the state figure of 5.0. This is supported by the fact that residents have access to 7.1 different amenity types within a 15-minute walk, compared to 4.8 across Queensland.
7.3
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.
7.1
Higher than 78% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.
86.6%
Higher than 68% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
Almost every home is within 15 minutes of a park, school, or public transport, which is far above state levels. While access to parks and transport is the strongest, with 74% of homes just a 5-minute walk away, health services are the hardest to reach, with only 27% of homes within a 5-minute walk.
83.9%
Higher than 69% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or everyday shopping. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
96.6%
Higher than 61% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Share of local homes within a 10-minute walk of a public-transport stop — bus, train, tram or ferry. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
96.0%
Higher than 78% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
100.0%
Higher than 99% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or area of open space. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
81.4%
Higher than 77% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of health services such as a GP, pharmacy or hospital. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The terrain slope is 5.6%, which is about the same as the Queensland average. There are 167 intersections per square kilometre, though the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is far below the state figure.
8.2
Lower than 88% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.
167
Higher than 64% 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.
5.6%
Higher than 55% 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.
