Archerfield · 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.
Very few homes in Archerfield are within a 15-minute walk of a school, yet the area is otherwise accessible with 72.2% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed. While public transport and parks are close by, the lack of nearby schools and health services creates a stark contrast in what residents can actually reach on foot.

5.3
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.
