Coleraine · 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.
Nearly 80% of homes in Coleraine pass the 15-minute-city test, meaning most residents can reach several key amenities on foot. Despite this, the overall walkability score of 5.0 means the town is only somewhat walkable, falling well below the Victorian figure of 6.4.

5.0
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.
