Cape Hillsborough · 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.
Far fewer people can get around on foot in Cape Hillsborough compared to the rest of Queensland. The area is car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.4, and no homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed. While some residents can reach a park on foot, there is almost no access to other daily essentials without a vehicle.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is car-dependent with a score of 0.4, which is far below the Queensland figure of 5.0. This reflects a lack of local amenities, with an average of only 0.5 amenity types within a 15-minute walk.
0.4
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.

5.4%
Lower than 53% 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.
