Coomba Park · Urban Centre
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 terrain slope of 7.4% is about the same as the state average, yet Coomba Park is almost entirely car-dependent. No homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 71.9%. Most residents will need a vehicle for every single trip.

Car-dependent 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.
