Dawesville - Bouvard · 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.
A slightly steeper terrain than the state average marks Dawesville - Bouvard, where a walkability score of 3.7 means the area is mostly car-dependent. Only 27% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the Western Australian figure of 64%. This makes it much harder for residents to get around without a vehicle.

Mostly 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.
