Horn · 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.
Almost no homes in Horn have access to a full range of services within a 15-minute walk, making the area mostly car-dependent. While residents are well-positioned for basic needs like groceries and parks, they lack nearby schools, health services, and public transport. This creates a stark contrast where daily essentials are close, but essential services are far away.

3.0
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.

Lower than 89% 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.
