Lockridge · 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.
Every single home in Lockridge is within a 15-minute walk of a park, school and public transport, though few residents can walk to a shop or doctor. This creates a gap where basic transport and recreation are close by, but the area remains somewhat walkable with a score of 4.6, which is a little below the Western Australian figure of 5.4.

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

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%
Lower than 57% 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.
