The score

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

The walkability score for Edrom is 0.2, which means it is car-dependent. This is far below the New South Wales figure of 6.2, and the area has very few amenity types within a 15-minute walk.

0.2

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.

0.3

Lower than 55% 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.

0.0%

Lower than 99% 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.

No homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools, health services, or public transport, which is far below state levels. While 25% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, all other amenities are beyond a 30-minute walk for every household.

Streets & terrain

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

The mean terrain slope is 13.2%, which is well above the New South Wales figure of 6.8%. There are 2 intersections per square kilometre.

13.2%

Higher than 89% 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.
