The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A walkability score of 0.4 makes Blackville car-dependent, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. None of the homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, and typical residents can only access about half an amenity type within a 15-minute walk.
0.4
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.
