The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

The walkability score for Morgan Park is 0.4, which is car-dependent and far below the Queensland figure of 5.0. Zero per cent of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, compared to 59.1% across the state.

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.

0.2

Lower than 55% of suburb / locality areas.

How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.

0.0%

Lower than 99% of suburb / locality areas.

Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Every single home is more than a 30-minute walk from the nearest health service, grocery store, or public transport stop. While 8.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, this is far below the state average of 84%.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

The terrain has a mean slope of 6.3%, which is about the same as the Queensland figure of 6.0%. There are 6 intersections per square kilometre, and the area has 61.2 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is far above the state figure.

61.2

Higher than 86% of suburb / locality areas.

Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.

6.3%

Higher than 57% 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.
