Curramulka · 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 slope of 3.0% makes walking easy, but Curramulka is largely car-dependent due to a lack of nearby services. Almost no homes have the variety of amenities needed for a 15-minute city, with a walkability score of 0.7 that is far below the South Australian figure.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.7 compared to the state's 5.5. No homes in Curramulka have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the 67.0% seen across South Australia.
0.7
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.
0.9
Higher than 58% of suburb / locality areas.
How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.
0.0%
Lower than 99% of suburb / locality areas.
Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

16.4
Higher than 57% of suburb / locality areas.
Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.

Lower than 68% of suburb / locality areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
3.0%
Lower than 88% of suburb / locality areas.
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.
