Buderim · State Electorate
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.
Public transport and parks are very close for many in Buderim, but other daily needs are harder to reach on foot. While the area is rated as somewhat walkable, only about half of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a full range of local services. This creates a gap where basic transport is accessible, but shops and schools are often too far to reach without a car.

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

4.9
Somewhat walkable of state electorate 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.

6.1%
Higher than 64% of state electorate 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.
