Throsby · 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 mean terrain slope of 5.7% makes Throsby about the same as the rest of the territory, but it remains only somewhat walkable. While almost every home is near a park or bus stop, no one can walk to a grocery store or health service. This creates a sharp divide between easy access to nature and a total reliance on cars for basic needs.

4.3
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.

5.7%
Higher than 57% 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.
