Pimlico · 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.
A huge gap in grocery access is the main downside in Pimlico, where 46.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of food—far below the Queensland figure. Despite this, the area is very walkable, and every single home is within a 15-minute walk of a park and public transport.

Very walkable of suburb / locality areas.
