Walkability in Duri

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 mostly car-dependent score of 2.4 marks Duri as far below the New South Wales average for walkability. Only 48.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the state figure of 71.9%. This makes the area much less walkable than typical New South Wales locations.

The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

Duri is mostly car-dependent with a walkability score of 2.4, which is far below the state average of 6.2. Residents have access to far fewer amenity types within a 15-minute walk than people in the rest of New South Wales.

2.4

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.

2.5

Higher than 69% of suburb / locality areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

48.7%

Higher than 79% of suburb / locality areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Access to essentials is limited, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and only 2.6% near a school. While about 49% of homes are within 15 minutes of a park, 100% of residents must walk more than 30 minutes to find food and drink.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The terrain in Duri is a little flatter than the state average, with a mean slope of 4.5%. There are 28.1 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is far above the New South Wales figure, though street connectivity is 0.

28.1

Higher than 72% of suburb / locality areas.

Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.

4.5%

Lower than 65% 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.
