The score

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

Bonalbo is very walkable, with a score of 6.2 that is about the same as the New South Wales figure. Residents have access to 7 different types of amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is a little above the state average.

6.2

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.

7.0

Higher than 91% of urban centre 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.

99.7%

Higher than 99% of urban centre 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.

What's in walking distance

How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.

While every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park or health service, no one lives within 10 minutes of public transport. Most people can reach groceries, food, and parks in under five minutes, but the nearest public transport is more than 30 minutes away for everyone.

Streets & terrain

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

The area has 79 intersections per square kilometre and a terrain slope of 5.6%, which is a little below the state average. There are 86.3 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, far above the New South Wales figure of 14.7.

86.3

Higher than 99% of urban centre 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.

5.6%

Higher than 63% 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.
