Not in any Significant Urban Area · Urban Area
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 37.3% of homes in Not in any Significant Urban Area (NT) are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, making the area mostly car-dependent. This vast region has very few amenities within easy reach, with a walkability score of 2.2 that is far below the Northern Territory average.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is mostly car-dependent, with a walkability score of 2.2, which is far below the Northern Territory's 5.1. Only 26% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, far below the 61.8% seen across the territory.
2.2
Mostly car-dependent of urban area 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.
2.5
Lower than 99% of urban area areas.
How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.
26.0%
Lower than 98% of urban area areas.
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.

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.

13.4
Lower than 65% of urban area 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.
0
Lower than 99% of urban area areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
3.4%
Lower than 82% of urban area 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.
