Hillier · 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.
Almost no homes in Hillier are within a 15-minute walk of a grocery store or health clinic, making the area heavily dependent on cars. While some residents can reach public transport or schools on foot, the overall walkability score of 1.6 is far below the South Australian figure of 5.5.
