Pine Creek · 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.
Almost 88% of homes in Pine Creek pass the 15-minute-city test, meaning residents can reach several different types of amenities on foot. Despite this, the area is still considered mostly car-dependent. While health services and schools are often close by, a total lack of nearby groceries and public transport makes a car necessary for basic needs.

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.
