Property Scores — 02 of 08
Thirteen categories of daily amenities, distance-decayed and terrain-aware, scored per address. Free for any address in Australia.
Live Example
5, 10 and 15-minute walking isochrones around each address, with the actual nearest amenities behind every category score.
The Problem
Walkability is measurable. Most of what you read about it is vibes.
“Walking distance to shops” can mean 200 metres or 2 kilometres depending on who wrote the ad.
A suburb can average well while your specific street is missing the supermarket, the school, or the station.
800 flat metres and 800 metres up a 10% grade are different walks. Flat-map scores ignore that.
Honest by Design
Straight-line distance is a consistent, fast baseline that ranks addresses fairly against each other. Street-network routing would shift individual numbers, mostly where rivers, railways or arterial roads block the direct path.
The slope penalty uses measured elevation, so hilly walks cost score even before routing is considered.

How It Works
A Walk Score-style model built on continental points-of-interest data.
For each of 13 categories that make up daily life (supermarket, school, transit, cafe, park, pharmacy, and more) we find the nearest option within 1.5 kilometres of the address.
Each category scores by how close its nearest option is: full points at the door, decaying to zero at the edge of walking range. Categories are weighted by how often daily life needs them.
Local slope from 30m elevation data penalises walks that are technically short but practically steep.
Distance Decay
Six of the 13 categories, plotted at their real straight-line distances — the closer an amenity sits, the more of its points the address keeps.
categories scored this way for every address — full points at the door, zero at the edge of walking range.

Data at Scale
Who It's For
Test the “walk to everything” claim before the inspection, and compare shortlisted addresses on the same scale.
Walkability drives demand for townhouse and apartment product. Quantify it when comparing candidate sites.
Rental demand tracks walkability. Screen investment shortlists with a measurable number instead of listing copy.
Property Scores
Each score uses open government data with transparent methodology. No black boxes.
