Duntroon · 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.
Zero homes in Duntroon are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, creating a stark contrast to a place where almost every home is close to health services and parks. While most residents have a walking path to essential services, the area's overall walkability score is 5.2, meaning it is only somewhat walkable.

5.2
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.
