Johnstone · 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 mean terrain slope of 6% in Johnstone is about the same as the Queensland average, but the area remains car-dependent. With a walkability score of 0.7, it is far below the state figure of 5.0. Very few residents can reach local amenities on foot, as no homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 0.7, meaning the area is car-dependent. This is far below the Queensland figure of 5.0, with only 0.8 amenity types within a 15-minute walk compared to 4.8 across the state.
0.7
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.
0.8
Lower than 98% 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.
0.0%
Lower than 99% 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.
Walking to services is difficult, as 100% of homes are more than 30 minutes from health services or public transport. While 30.5% of homes are within 15 minutes of a park, only 4.9% can reach groceries in that time, both figures being far below the state average.

Lower than 95% 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.
6.0%
Higher than 61% 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.
