The score

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

A walkability score of 5.5 means the area is somewhat walkable. However, the share of homes with a 15-minute-city walkshed is well below the New South Wales figure, and the number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk is a little below the state average.

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.

5.2

Higher than 84% of suburb / locality areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

66.9%

Higher than 84% 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.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Access to public transport, parks, and schools is far above the state average, with 99.8% of homes near transport. In contrast, health services are far below the state figure, with only 7.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk and 13% more than 30 minutes away.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The terrain in Noraville is much flatter than the New South Wales average. There are 102 intersections per square kilometre, though the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is well below the state figure.

11.0

Lower than 56% 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.

3.5%

Lower than 80% 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.
