Upper Caboolture · 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.
Only 0.5% of homes in Upper Caboolture have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a figure far below the Queensland average of 59.1%. This makes the area heavily car-dependent for almost all daily needs, as most residents live far from basic services. The most accessible local spots are parks, while health services are the hardest to reach on foot.

1.1
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.
