Crafers West · 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.
Only 6.6% of homes in Crafers West can reach five or more local amenities within a 15-minute walk, a figure far below the South Australian average of 67%. This makes the area car-dependent, as very few residents can realistically access essential services on foot. Most of the region lacks the basic infrastructure needed for a walkable lifestyle.
