Khancoban · 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.
A slightly steeper terrain than the state average marks Khancoban, where a walkability score of 3.3 means the area is mostly car-dependent. While many homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school or grocery store, the lack of health services and public transport makes a car necessary for most needs.

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

3.3
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.

7.9%
Higher than 70% 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.
