Lansdowne · 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.
No homes in Lansdowne pass the 15-minute-city test, meaning no one can reach five different amenity types on foot. The area is mostly car-dependent with a walkability score of 3.3, which is far below the New South Wales figure of 6.2. While some local services are close, the area lacks the variety of shops and health care needed for easy walking.

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

3.3
Mostly 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. 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.
