Highland 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 every home in Highland Park is within a 15-minute walk of a park, but few residents can walk to cultural sites. The area is considered somewhat walkable, with a score of 4.8 that is about the same as the Queensland figure.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
About 59.5% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is about the same as the state average. On average, there are 4.9 amenity types within a 15-minute walk of residents.
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.
4.9
Lower than 55% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

7.9
Lower than 89% 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.
112
Higher than 54% 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.
10.3%
Higher than 91% 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.
