Auldana · 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 steep average slope of 16.6% makes Auldana a challenging place to walk, contributing to a walkability score of 2.8, which is mostly car-dependent. While every single home is within a 15-minute walk of a park, almost no one can reach a school, grocery store, or health clinic on foot.

2.8
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.
