Leeuwin · 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.
Steep hills and a lack of services make Leeuwin a car-dependent place, where the typical slope is far above the Western Australian figure. No homes here have a full 15-minute city walkshed, and the walkability score is just 0.5.

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.
