The score

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

Yannathan is car-dependent with a walkability score of 0.1, which is far below the Victorian average of 6.4. This is reflected in the fact that only 0.1 amenity types are within a 15-minute walk, compared to 6.0 across the state.

0.1

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.

0.1

Lower than 63% 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.

Public transport, schools, health services, and groceries are all completely out of reach for every home on foot. Only 8.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, while 83% of residents would have to walk over 30 minutes to reach one.

Streets & terrain

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

7.4

Lower than 65% 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.

3.0%

Lower than 87% 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.
