Redlands · 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.
Just 40.2% of homes in Redlands can reach five or more essential amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is far below the Queensland figure of 59.1%. This means the area is mostly car-dependent for daily needs. While many residents can easily reach a park, other basic services are much harder to access on foot.

3.7
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.
