East Point · 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 of 5.0% defines East Point, where a car-dependent score of 1.7 makes it far less walkable than the Northern Territory average. While many homes are close to parks, almost no residents can reach schools, shops, or health services within a 15-minute walk.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in East Point by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is considered car-dependent, with a walkability score of 1.7, which is far below the Northern Territory figure of 5.1. No homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, and the number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk is far below the territory average.
1.7
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.
1.3
Lower than 94% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.
0.0%
Lower than 99% of statistical area 2 (sa2) areas.
Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
Parks are the most accessible amenity, with 66.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk. In contrast, there is no access to schools, groceries, health services, or public transport within 15 minutes, figures that are all far below the Northern Territory average.

42
Lower than 63% 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.
5.0%
Lower than 56% 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.
