Walkability in Oallen

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.

The score

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

The area is car-dependent, with a score of 0.0. No homes are within a 15-minute walk of any amenity types, a result that is far below the state average of 5.8.

0.0

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.

0.0

Lower than 99% 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.

0.0%

Lower than 99% 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.

No homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, park, grocery store, or health service, and 100% of residents live more than 30 minutes away from these services and public transport. This puts Oallen far below state levels for basic access.

Streets & terrain

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

The terrain slope is 8.3%, which is a little above the New South Wales average. There are 6.9 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, far below the state figure of 14.7, and the street connectivity is 0.

6.9

Lower than 66% 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.

8.3%

Higher than 72% 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.
