Cue · 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.
No homes in Cue pass the 15-minute-city test, with a walkability score of 2.0 meaning the area is mostly car-dependent. While some residents are close to parks and schools, the town lacks the basic services and shops needed to make walking a viable alternative to driving.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Cue by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is far below the Western Australian figure, with only 2.3 types of amenities typically within a 15-minute walk. This is much lower than the state average of 5.2.
2.0
Mostly 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.
2.3
Higher than 68% 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.
Most people can easily walk to a school or park, but no one has a grocery store or health service within 15 minutes. While 75.7% of homes are near a school, 100% of residents live more than 30 minutes away from a shop or doctor.

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

35.7
Higher than 75% 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.
1
Lower than 55% 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.
3.1%
Lower than 86% 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.
