Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Karte by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →

The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

The walkability score for Karte is 0.0, which is car-dependent and far below the South Australian figure of 5.5. No homes in the area are within a 15-minute walk of any amenity types.

0.0

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.

0.0

Lower than 70% 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.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Every home in Karte is more than 30 minutes' walk from groceries, health services, schools, and public transport. Access to parks is slightly better, though 97% of homes are still more than 30 minutes away from one.

Streets & terrain

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

Street connectivity is 0, and the mean terrain slope is 3.7%, which is about the same as the South Australian average of 4.6%. There are 187.5 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, far above the state figure of 16.3.

187.5

Higher than 91% 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.

3.7%

Lower than 76% 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.
