Nanango · 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 17.3% of homes in Nanango pass the 15-minute-city test, a figure far below the Queensland average of 59.1%. This makes the area car-dependent, as very few residents can reach a variety of daily needs on foot. Most households lack easy walking access to basic services and transport.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Nanango has a walkability score of 1.4, which means it is car-dependent. This is far below the Queensland figure of 5.0, with only 1.5 amenity types typically within a 15-minute walk.
1.4
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.
1.5
Lower than 93% 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.

Lower than 89% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.

12.6
Lower than 59% 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.
1
Lower than 93% 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.
7.0%
Higher than 73% 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.
