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.

Area: Gosford (Sub-region (SA3))

Only 42.8% of homes in Gosford are within a 15-minute walk of health services, a gap that stands out in an area otherwise well-served by parks and transport. This makes the region's walkability somewhat walkable, with a score of 5.4, which is a little below the New South Wales figure of 6.2.

Only 57% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the state's 71.9%. Residents have a little fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than the New South Wales average.

Walking access is strong for public transport and parks, with over 91% of homes near both, but it is far below the state average for schools, groceries, and health services. Public transport is the most common local amenity, while health services are the hardest to reach, with 31% of homes more than 30 minutes away.

The terrain in Gosford is steeper than most of the state, with a mean slope of 9.8%. There are 14 intersections per square kilometre, and the area has 18.7 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is well above the state figure.
