Kumbia · 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.
No health services are within walking distance for any resident in Kumbia, which stands in stark contrast to other local needs. While most homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school or grocery store, the area remains mostly car-dependent overall. This creates a mixed environment where some daily trips are easy on foot, but essential services require a vehicle.

3.6
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.
