Green 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.
Steeper terrain and fewer services make Green Point somewhat walkable, with a typical slope of 10.4% which is well above the New South Wales figure. While almost all homes are within a short walk of transport and parks, only 14.5% of residents have a full range of daily needs within a 15-minute walk.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 4.4, which is considered somewhat walkable and well below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. This is reflected in the low number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk, which is far below the state average.
4.4
Somewhat 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.
