The score

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

The area is very walkable, with a score of 7.9, which is well above the Northern Territory's 5.1. This is reflected in the fact that 100% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, far above the territory average of 61.8%.

7.9

Very 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.

7.4

Higher than 97% 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.

100.0%

Higher 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.

Walking to groceries, parks, and public transport is easy, with nearly all homes within 15 minutes of these services. However, access to schools is a weak point, as only 56.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk, which is far below the territory's 70.5%.

Streets & terrain

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

The land is relatively flat with a 3.5% slope, about the same as the Northern Territory's 3.7%. There are 235 intersections per square kilometre, though the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents is far below the territory figure.

11.8

Lower than 54% 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.

3.5%

Lower than 80% 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.
