# Walkability — Canada Bay

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.

Area: Canada Bay (Suburb / Locality)

A walkability score of 8.1 makes Canada Bay a walker's paradise, far outstripping the typical New South Wales experience. Every single home here is within a 15-minute walk of a school, park, and health service. This high level of access makes it much easier for residents to get around without a car than it is for most people across the state.

Canada Bay is well above the state average for ease of walking, with a score of 8.1. Every home has a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far above the New South Wales figure of 71.9%.

Every home is within a 15-minute walk of public transport, parks, schools, and health services, with health access being far above the state average. While parks and transport are just a 5-minute walk for 95% of residents, only 21% can reach health services in that same short time.

The area has a mean terrain slope of 4.5%, which is a little below the New South Wales average. There are 186 intersections per square kilometre, though the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is far below the state figure.
