Green Island · 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.
Only parks and food and drink are within easy reach for residents of Green Island, while every other basic service is missing. This creates a stark gap in walkability, where 100% of homes are near a park, but no one lives within a 15-minute walk of a school, doctor, or grocery store.

2.4
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.
