Walkability in Tanunda

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.

A gentle terrain slope of 2.9% makes Tanunda a bit flatter than the South Australian average, though the town remains only somewhat walkable. Most people can easily reach parks and groceries on foot, but getting to schools or health services is much harder for a large number of residents.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

The walkability score for Tanunda is 5.1, which is about the same as the South Australian figure of 5.5. However, only 52.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the state average of 67.0%.

5.1

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.

5.1

Lower than 52% 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.

52.6%

Lower than 60% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

Higher than 66% 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.

2.9%

Lower than 92% 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.
