Gwoja · 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 27.8% of homes in Gwoja meet the 15-minute-city test, a figure that is far below the Northern Territory average. Most people here are mostly car-dependent, with a walkability score of 3.1. While some basics are reachable, the area lacks the variety of services needed to get around without a vehicle.

3.1
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.

Lower than 85% 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.
