Renmark Surrounds · 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.
Very few essential services are within a short walk for people in Renmark Surrounds, making the area car-dependent. Only 13% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a figure far below the South Australian average of 67%. This makes the area largely reliant on vehicles for daily trips.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 1.3, which means the area is car-dependent. This is far below the South Australian figure of 5.5, with most residents having access to only 1.4 amenity types within a 15-minute walk.
1.3
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.
1.4
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.
13.0%
Lower than 92% 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.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The average terrain slope is 3.3%, which is a little below the South Australian average of 4.6%. There is one intersection per square kilometre, and the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is well below the state figure.
13.0
Lower than 57% 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.
3.3%
Lower than 84% 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.
