Emu Park · 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.
Almost no homes in Emu Park are within a 15-minute walk of a grocery store, health service or public transport. This makes the area very car-dependent, with a walkability score of 1.5 that is far below the Queensland figure of 5.0. While many people can easily reach a park, most other daily needs require a vehicle.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Only 14.3% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the 59.1% seen across Queensland. On average, residents have access to just 1.8 amenity types within a 15-minute walk, compared to 4.8 across the state.
1.5
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.

Lower than 91% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.

6.9
Lower than 93% 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.
11
Lower than 75% 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.
6.5%
Higher than 68% 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.
