The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A typical 15-minute walk from home here reveals only 3.5 different types of amenities, which is far below the state figure of 5.8. This reflects the same gap seen in the overall walkability score, which sits at 3.6.
3.6
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.

2.8%
Lower than 90% 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.
