Mulataga · 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.
Only 18.2% of homes in Mulataga pass the 15-minute-city test, which is far below the Western Australian figure of 64%. This makes the area car-dependent, with very few residents able to reach basic services on foot. Most people here rely on vehicles for almost every daily trip.

1.4
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.
