The score

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

A walkability score of 0.6 means Nabawa is car-dependent, which is far below the Western Australian figure of 5.4. No homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed.

0.6

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.

0.6

Higher than 53% 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.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

Access to amenities is very limited; no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or public transport. While 29.1% of homes can reach a school and 28.2% a park within 15 minutes, these figures are far below the state averages.

Streets & terrain

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

The area has one intersection per square kilometre and a mean terrain slope of 5.4%, which is about the same as the state. There are 42.4 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, far above the state figure of 16.6.

42.4

Higher than 78% 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.

5.4%

Lower than 53% 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.
