Valentine · 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.
No homes in Valentine are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, which is far below the New South Wales figure. While almost everyone can easily reach a park or a bus stop, the area is mostly car-dependent for daily needs. This gap is clear as the walkability score of 3.4 is far below the state average.

3.4
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.
