Bradbury · Suburb / Locality
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.
A slightly lower walkability score of 5.6 makes Bradbury somewhat walkable compared to the New South Wales figure of 6.2. While almost every home is close to a park or transport, a much smaller share of residents can walk to health services or the shops. This creates a mixed experience where nature and transit are accessible, but daily errands often require a car.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Bradbury by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
About 65.1% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is well below the state figure of 71.9%. Residents have access to about 5.5 different types of amenities within a 15-minute walk, a result that is about the same as across New South Wales.
5.6
Somewhat walkable 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.
5.5
Higher than 86% of suburb / locality areas.

Higher than 83% of suburb / locality 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.

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

8.9
Lower than 61% of suburb / locality 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.
185
Higher than 90% of suburb / locality areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
6.5%
Higher than 58% 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.
