Port Neill · 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.
A slope of 4.8% is about the same as the South Australian figure, and the terrain does not stop Port Neill (L) from being very walkable. Nearly every home here can reach a variety of local amenities within a 15-minute walk. However, there is a total lack of nearby health services.
