The score

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

The walkability score is 1.0, which is far below the territory figure of 6.9. No homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result far below the 81.9% seen across the ACT.

1.0

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.

0.7

Lower than 99% 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.

What's in walking distance

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

Access to amenities is very limited, as 0% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, or health services. While 33.3% of homes are near public transport and parks, this is still far below the territory averages of 97.6% and 99.4% respectively.

Streets & terrain

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

The area has 18 intersections per square kilometre. There are 750 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is far above the territory figure of 19.2.

750.0

Higher than 99% 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.

11.6%

Higher than 94% 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.
