Daly · 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.
Only 21.4% of homes in Daly are within a 15-minute walk of a park, which is far below the Northern Territory average. This car-dependent area lacks basic pedestrian access to essential services and transport. Most residents must rely on vehicles to reach the few available amenities.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
Daly is rated as car-dependent with a walkability score of 0.8, far below the Northern Territory's 5.1. Only 13.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, and the area has just one type of amenity within a 15-minute walk, compared to five across the territory.
0.8
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.

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.
