Moonta · 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.
Zero homes in Moonta are within a 15-minute walk of health services, highlighting a significant gap in local access. Most of the area is mostly car-dependent, with only 20.9% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed, which is far below the state figure of 67.0%. This means very few residents can meet their daily needs on foot.

2.4
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.
