Jordan · 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.
Plenty of parks are within reach in Jordan, but most residents still need a car to get to the shops or a doctor. The area is mostly car-dependent, with only 33.3% of homes having a good mix of amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is far below the Queensland figure of 59.1%.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Jordan's walkability score is 3.8, meaning it is mostly car-dependent and well below the Queensland figure of 5.0. On average, there are only 3.7 types of amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is well below the state average of 4.8.
3.8
Mostly car-dependent 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.

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.

9.8
Lower than 90% 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.
27
Lower than 66% of state electorate areas.

7.1%
Higher than 77% 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.
