The score

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

The area earns a very walkable score of 7.7, which is a little above the territory figure of 6.9. Every single home here has a 15-minute-city walkshed, a result far above the 81.9% seen across the Australian Capital Territory.

7.7

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.

Access to key needs is exceptional; 99.9% of homes are within 15 minutes of health services and groceries, both far above territory levels. While a park is within five minutes for everyone, only 11% of residents are that close to food and drink options.

Streets & terrain

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

The local terrain is about the same as the territory average with a mean slope of 5.0%. There are 262 intersections per square kilometre, and there are 19.9 walkable amenities for every 1,000 residents.

19.9

Higher than 61% 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.

5.0%

Lower than 57% 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.
