Hamley Bridge · 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 per cent of homes in Hamley Bridge meet the 15-minute-city test, meaning no one can walk to five or more different types of local amenities. This car-dependent area has a walkability score of 1.5, which is far below the South Australian figure of 5.5. While residents can easily reach a park or school, they lack almost every other basic service within walking distance.

1.5
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.
