Caerleon · 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.
Far fewer amenities are within reach for Caerleon residents than in other parts of New South Wales, where only 7.9% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed. This is a mostly car-dependent area where the typical resident has very little to visit on foot. While parks are easy to reach, almost no one can walk to a grocery store or health service.

2.0
Mostly 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.

Lower than 54% of suburb / locality areas.
