Karnup · 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.
No home in Karnup is within a 15-minute walk of a school, highlighting a major gap in a place that is otherwise mostly car-dependent. While some residents can easily reach health services or groceries, the overall walkability score of 2.9 is far below the Western Australian figure of 5.4.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is mostly car-dependent, with a walkability score of 2.9. This is far below the state average, and not a single home in the area has a 15-minute-city walkshed.
2.9
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.

Lower than 55% 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.
