Jandakot · 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.
Only 21.6% of homes in Jandakot pass the 15-minute-city test, a figure far below the Western Australian average of 64%. This makes the area mostly car-dependent, with very few residents able to reach a variety of essential services on foot. Most people here rely on vehicles for almost all their daily needs.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Jandakot has a walkability score of 2.6, which is far below the Western Australian figure of 5.4. This reflects a lack of nearby amenities, with only 2.7 types of services typically within a 15-minute walk compared to 5.2 across the state.
2.6
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. 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.
2.7
Lower than 83% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.

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.
68
Lower than 55% 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.
7.1%
Higher than 74% 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.
