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.
Public transport is the only missing piece in Culcairn, where 91.6% of homes have a 15-minute walk to a variety of local needs. Most residents enjoy a very walkable lifestyle with a walkability score of 6.6, which is about the same as the New South Wales figure.

Share of homes (G-NAF addresses) in Culcairn by walking time to the nearest amenity of each type, on an elevation-aware pedestrian network. How we calculate this →
The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The area is well above the state average for amenity variety, with 7.5 different types of services within a 15-minute walk. This helps explain why the share of homes with a 15-minute-city walkshed is far above the state figure.
6.6
Very walkable of urban centre 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.

1.9%
Lower than 99% of urban centre 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.
