The score

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

The walkability score for Inala is 5.9, which means it is somewhat walkable. This is a little above the Queensland figure of 5.0, with about 5.8 different types of amenities typically within a 15-minute walk.

5.9

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.

5.8

Higher than 56% of state electorate 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.

74.6%

Higher than 57% of state electorate 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 basics is a major strength, with 99% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and 94.1% near public transport—both far above the state figures. While most can reach schools and groceries quickly, health services are the hardest to access on foot, as only 53.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk.

Streets & terrain

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

The local terrain is mostly flat, with a 5.4% slope that is about the same as the Queensland average. There are 119 intersections per square kilometre, though the number of walkable amenities per 1,000 people is well below the state figure.

9.5

Lower than 91% of state electorate 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.

5.4%

Higher than 52% 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.
