Yanchep · 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.
Public transport and parks are close for many in Yanchep, but far fewer homes have easy access to shops and services. This makes the area somewhat walkable, with a score of 4.2, which is well below the Western Australian figure of 5.4. Only 32.7% of homes have a full range of amenities within a 15-minute walk, a figure far below the state average.

4.2
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.
