Brentwood · 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 gentle terrain slope of 2.3% defines the landscape in Brentwood, though this doesn't make it an easy place to get around on foot. The area is strictly car-dependent, with a walkability score of 1.0 that is far below the South Australian figure of 5.5. Almost no one can reach basic services within a short walk.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Brentwood by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Zero per cent of homes in Brentwood have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the South Australian figure of 67%. The area's car-dependent score is far below the state average, as residents can typically reach fewer than one amenity type within a 15-minute walk.
1.0
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.

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.
