Ngukurr · 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.
Not a single home in Ngukurr meets the 15-minute-city test, a result that is far below the Northern Territory figure. While basic services like health and schools are very close for everyone, the overall walkability score of 3.6 means the area is mostly car-dependent.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 3.6, which is well below the Northern Territory figure of 5.1. There are typically 4 types of amenities within a 15-minute walk here, a little below the territory average of 5.
3.6
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.
4.0
Lower than 60% of urban centre areas.
How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.
0.0%
Lower than 99% of urban centre areas.
Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
Every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, grocery store and health service, which is far above the Northern Territory average. However, no homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, and no one can reach food and drink or culture within 30 minutes.

Amenity density, how well the streets connect, and how hilly the walk is.
The ground is mostly flat with a mean terrain slope of 1.4%, a little below the Northern Territory's 3.7%. There are 5 street intersections per square kilometre, but with only 5.5 walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, this is far below the territory figure of 19.
5.5
Lower than 88% of urban centre areas.
Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.
5
Lower than 93% of urban centre areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
1.4%
Lower than 99% of urban centre areas.
Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
