The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Bexhill is rated as car-dependent, with a score of 1.4 that sits far below the state average. No homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, and the number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk is far below the New South Wales figure.
1.4
Car-dependent of suburb / locality 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.

10.5%
Higher than 83% of suburb / locality 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.
