Camden South · 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 gentle average slope of 5.3% makes Camden South a bit flatter than the state average, though it remains only somewhat walkable. While nearly every home is within a short stroll of a park or transport, only 28% of residents have a full range of daily services within a 15-minute walk, which is far below the New South Wales figure.

5.1
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.
