Denmark · 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.
A few key services are very close by in Denmark, but overall it is only somewhat walkable. While many residents can reach health services on foot more easily than people across Western Australia, fewer homes have a wide range of amenities within a 15-minute walk.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score for the area is 4.6, which is considered somewhat walkable. This is a little below the Western Australian figure of 5.4, and 59.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is well below the state average.
4.6
Somewhat 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.
5.0
Higher than 83% 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.
59.7%
Higher than 82% 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.

Share of local homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.

20.8
Higher than 63% 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.
35
Higher than 76% 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.
9.2%
Higher than 77% 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.
