Linley 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.
Steep hills are a defining feature of Linley Point, where a 16.1% average slope is well above the New South Wales figure. While the area is considered somewhat walkable, the terrain likely impacts how people get around. It is a place where almost every home has easy access to parks and transport, yet basic services are harder to reach on foot.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
A walkability score of 5.4 means the area is somewhat walkable, which is a little below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. However, 89% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result far above the state average of 71.9%.
5.4
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.

16.1%
Higher than 94% 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.
