# Walkability — Mount Hotham

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.

Area: Mount Hotham (Urban Centre)

A steep average slope of 21.9% makes Mount Hotham much more hilly than the Victorian average. While the area is somewhat walkable, the terrain is far steeper than most places in the state. Despite this, nearly all homes are within a 15-minute walk of a variety of local amenities.

The walkability score is 5.4, which is considered somewhat walkable. This is a little below the Victorian figure of 6.4, though 97.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far above the state average.

Most residents can reach groceries, public transport, and health services within five minutes, far exceeding state averages for these services. However, access to schools and parks is far below the rest of Victoria, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school.

There are 6 intersections per square kilometre in an area with 132.8 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, a figure far above the state average.
