The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

The area is rated as very walkable, with 7.4 amenity types within a 15-minute walk—well above the 5.0 seen across the Northern Territory. This helps explain why 100% of homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, far above the territory's 61.8%.

7.9

Very 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.

7.4

Higher than 83% 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.

100.0%

Higher than 98% 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.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Access to transport, parks, groceries, and health services is far above the territory average, with nearly every home within 15 minutes of these spots. However, access to schools is a weak point, as only 56.8% of homes are within 15 minutes of one, which is far below the Northern Territory figure of 70.5%.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The neighbourhood has 235 intersections per square kilometre. While the terrain is about the same as the rest of the territory, the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is 11.8, which is far below the Northern Territory figure of 19.0.

11.8

Lower than 65% 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.

3.5%

Lower than 82% 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.
