The score

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

The area is rated as very walkable with a score of 6.7, which is a little above the South Australian figure of 5.5. This is reflected in the fact that typical residents have access to nearly seven different types of amenities within a 15-minute walk.

6.7

Very walkable 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.

6.8

Higher than 93% 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.

97.0%

Higher than 98% 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 single home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries, parks, and public transport, far above state figures. While 98% of homes are also close to a school, health services are far below the state average, with only 0.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk.

Streets & terrain

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

The land is relatively flat with a mean terrain slope of 2.6%, which is a little below the South Australian average. There are 233 intersections per square kilometre, though the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is far below the state figure.

10.0

Lower than 59% 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.

2.6%

Lower than 94% 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.
