Walkability in Wannanup

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.

Zero per cent of homes in Wannanup pass the 15-minute-city test, meaning no one can reach five of the eight main amenity types on foot. This makes the area mostly car-dependent, with a walkability score of 3.6 that is well below the Western Australian figure of 5.4. While parks and transport are close by, essential services are far away.

The score

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

Wannanup is mostly car-dependent with a score of 3.6, which is well below the state average of 5.4. Residents have access to only 3.1 amenity types within a 15-minute walk, far below the 5.2 found across Western Australia.

3.6

Mostly 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.

3.1

Higher than 73% 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.

Most homes are within a short walk of a park (95.6%) or public transport (82.2%), but there are no groceries or health services within 15 minutes. This gap is stark, as 82% of homes are more than 30 minutes away from a grocery store.

Streets & terrain

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

The terrain is about the same as the state average with a slope of 5.4%. There are 170 street intersections per square kilometre, and the area has 10.6 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, which is well below the Western Australian figure of 16.6.

10.6

Lower than 57% 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.
