Eatons Hill · 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.
Steep hills make for a challenging walk in Eatons Hill, where the typical terrain slope is well above the Queensland figure. This contributes to a walkability score of 4.2, meaning the area is somewhat walkable. While parks are easy to reach, many residents live far from basic shops and services.

4.2
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.
