Connells Point · 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.
Almost every home in Connells Point is within a short walk of public transport and parks, yet only 53.1% have a full 15-minute-city walkshed. While the area is very walkable with a score of 6.1, the local experience is defined by easy access to basics but a lack of diverse services.

6.1
Very 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.
