Know the neighbourhood
before you move.
Walkability scores and neighbourhood analytics for every address in Australia.
Eight scores for every address
Every score is a comparison. A Transport score of 92 means the address beats 92 out of every 100 addresses in its city.
We walk the route
A score is only worth reading if you know what went into it. Four things went into ours.
How the score worksReal footpaths
Every distance follows a walking route someone could actually take, including the track through the park and the laneway shortcut. Draw a circle on a map and it will tell you the park is 400 metres away when the only way in is a 900-metre walk around the fence.
Street by street
Two ends of the same street can score differently. Most tools give you a number for the whole suburb and leave it there.
Always a comparison
A score of 92 means the address beats 92 out of every 100 addresses in its city. You always know what the number is measured against.
The bad news too
We show what is nearby that nobody selling the place will mention: busy roads, industrial land, the flight path.

The things people ask first
What is a geoscore?
It is a score out of 100 for how well an address is served by one kind of thing: transport, schools, shops, parks, healthcare, places to eat, things to do, and the everyday services that make a neighbourhood work. Eight scores, one for each. A Transport score of 92 means the address beats 92 out of every 100 addresses in its city.
How do you work out a score?
We start from the front door and walk. Every distance follows a route someone could actually take, including the track through the park and the laneway shortcut, so a park on the other side of a fence counts as the walk around it and not the straight line across. A five-minute walk counts for much more than a twenty-five minute one, and past about half an hour we stop counting. Then we compare the address against every other address in the same city, council area and suburb. The full method is on our how it works page.
Will you tell me what is wrong with a place, or only what is good?
Both. Alongside the eight scores we show potential detractors: busy roads, industrial land, flight paths, level crossings, waste and power infrastructure. It is the part of a location nobody selling the place will raise, and it is often the thing a buyer wishes they had known.
Which addresses does this cover?
More than 16 million Australian addresses, in every state and territory, whether or not the place is on the market. If an address does not come up it is usually a new build or a recent subdivision that has not reached the official address list yet. Tell us and we will look into it.
How often is this updated?
We refresh the map of what is nearby as new information reaches us from the sources we use, and re-score the addresses it affects. We do not promise a fixed cycle, because we would rather say that than publish a schedule we do not keep. A cafe that opened last week may take a while to show up; a train station will already be there.
Is it free?
Yes. Searching an address and reading its profile costs nothing and needs no account. Create a free account if you want to save the places you are considering and come back to them.
