4,999 or less · Section of State Range
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.
A few local shops are within easy reach, but most residents in 4,999 or less must rely on cars for everything else. Only 28.2% of homes have a variety of services within a 15-minute walk, meaning the area is mostly car-dependent.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score for the area is 3.9, which means it is mostly car-dependent. On average, there are only 3.8 types of amenities within a 15-minute walk of home.
3.9
Mostly car-dependent of section of state range 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.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

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.
