Bellevue Heights · 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.
Fewer than half of homes in Bellevue Heights pass the 15-minute-city test, meaning only 47.2% of residents can reach five or more key amenities on foot. This is far below the South Australian figure of 67.0%. While parks and transport are easy to reach, a lack of nearby shops makes the area mostly car-dependent for daily needs.

4.7
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.
