Hawker · 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.
Groceries are the main gap in an otherwise very walkable Hawker, where 72.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a store, which is well below the territory average. Despite this, most residents have exceptional access to other essentials. The area is very walkable, with a score of 7.3 that is about the same as the rest of the ACT.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
About 74.7% of homes here have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is well below the territory figure of 81.9%. Still, the typical home has about 6.8 amenity types within a 15-minute walk, a result about the same as the ACT average.
7.3
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.

436
Higher than 99% of suburb / locality areas.

5.3%
Lower than 55% 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.
