Calista · 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.
Almost every home in Calista is within a short walk of a park or school, but very few are near a grocery store. While public transport is exceptionally accessible, the area is only somewhat walkable overall with a score of 4.9. This creates a contrast where basic transit and green space are easy to reach, but daily shopping often requires a car.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area's walkability score is 4.9, which means it is somewhat walkable and a little below the Western Australian figure. Only 58.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is well below the state's 64.0%.
4.9
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.
