Griffith · 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.
Flat terrain with a slope of just 3.2% makes Griffith a somewhat walkable place, though it falls a little below the New South Wales average. While most people can easily reach a park or transport, far fewer homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools or groceries compared to the state figure.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area's walkability score is 5.5, which is considered somewhat walkable and a little below the state average of 6.2. Only 57.9% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a figure far below the New South Wales average of 71.9%.
5.5
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.
5.1

57.9%
Higher than 82% 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.

Higher than 59% 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.
39
Higher than 77% of suburb / locality areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
3.2%
Lower than 85% 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.
