Walkability in Torres Strait

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 essential services are within a short walk for people in the Torres Strait, though nearly all residents live near a park. This creates a sharp gap where green space is everywhere, but food and health services are far away.
