Marrabel · 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.
Zero per cent of homes in Marrabel pass the 15-minute-city test, meaning no one can reach five key amenities on foot. This car-dependent area has a walkability score of 0.4, which is far below the South Australian figure of 5.5. Most residents must rely on vehicles for almost every daily need.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is car-dependent with a score of 0.4. This is far below the state average of 5.5, and the number of amenity types within a 15-minute walk is much lower than the South Australian figure.
0.4
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.
