Dayboro · 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.
About 63% of homes in Dayboro can reach at least five different types of amenities within a 15-minute walk, which is well above the Queensland figure. While many people can reach daily needs on foot, the area is overall mostly car-dependent. This is especially true for transport, as no homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport.

3.9
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.
