Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Parkinson - Drewvale by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A walkability score of 4.8 makes the area somewhat walkable, which is about the same as the Queensland figure. However, the share of homes with a 15-minute-city walkshed is well below the state average at 53.2%.
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.

Lower than 62% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.

Lower than 54% 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.
