Pialligo · 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.
Far fewer homes in Pialligo are within walking distance of essential services than in the rest of the ACT. This mostly car-dependent area sees only 50.6% of homes with a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the territory average of 81.9%. While parks are easy to reach, getting to shops or doctors on foot is very difficult for most residents.

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.
