Mulgrave · 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 flatter landscape than the state average helps make Mulgrave (NSW) somewhat walkable. While 78.1% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed—which is well above the New South Wales figure—the overall walkability score of 4.7 remains well below the state average.

4.7
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.
