Bonner · 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 no one in Bonner lives within a five-minute walk of health services, even though the suburb is otherwise quite accessible. This creates a stark gap in the local area, where most homes are close to parks and transport but far from medical care. The overall walkability score is 5.4, meaning it is somewhat walkable.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Bonner is well below the territory average for walkability. Only 70.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the territory figure of 81.9%.
5.4
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.

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.
