Most walkable Camden Haven suburbs
Laurieton tops the ranking, scoring 74 out of 100. The 9 listed score between 5 and 74, a spread of 69 points.
This ranking scores every eligible Camden Haven suburb on walkability — how much of daily life, from shops and schools to transport stops and parks, sits within walking distance of the average address.
Walkability is scored against the other Camden Haven suburbs rather than on an absolute scale, so a Camden Haven "top 5%" means the most walkable places in this city, not this city measured against Sydney. That matters: Australian cities differ enormously in how they were built, and an absolute cut-off would hand the older, denser cities a long list and the younger ones almost nothing — which tells a reader choosing between suburbs in one city nothing at all. Safety enters as a small secondary factor, because the most walkable parts of any city skew to dense inner cores. A high score means errands are walkable, not that a suburb is quiet.

Ranked from 9 qualifying suburbs. Too small a field for percentile comparisons, so each row shows its score rather than the share of Camden Haven it ranks above.
85% walkability · 15% safety (bushfire, crime, flood combined). Walkability measures how much of daily life — shops, schools, transport stops, parks — sits within walking distance of the average address, and is turned into a percentile within Camden Haven's candidate pool rather than judged against a national cut-off, because Australian cities differ enormously in how they were built. Safety is a small leg only: the most walkable parts of any city are its dense inner areas, so it nudges the order without overturning it. A suburb with no walkability score is excluded rather than ranked last. See how we calculate for the full methodology.
Common questions about this ranking
What are the most walkable Camden Haven suburbs?
Laurieton tops the ranking, scoring 74 out of 100. The 9 listed score between 5 and 74, a spread of 69 points.
How is walkability measured?
The score reflects how much of daily life sits within walking distance of the average address in a suburb — shops, schools, transport stops, parks and other everyday destinations. It is a 0-100 figure per suburb, and it describes the suburb as a whole, so a long street on the edge of a walkable suburb may still feel car-dependent.
Why are these ranked against other Camden Haven suburbs?
Walkability is percentile-ranked within Camden Haven's candidate pool rather than against an absolute national cut-off. Australian cities were built in different eras and differ enormously in density, so an absolute threshold would return a long list in the older cities and almost nothing in the younger ones — useless to a reader choosing between Camden Haven suburbs. A Camden Haven top-ranked suburb is the most walkable in Camden Haven.
Does a high score mean the suburb is quiet?
No — often the opposite. The most walkable parts of any Australian city are its dense inner areas, which tend to be busier, noisier and more built up. The score answers "can I get to things on foot", not "is it peaceful". Safety carries 15% of the ranking against walkability's 85%, which nudges the order without overriding it — so read the risk figures on each suburb's own page before deciding.
Which suburbs are eligible?
Suburbs in Camden Haven with a population of at least 500 and a walkability score on record. A suburb with no score is left out rather than ranked last — unmeasured is not the same as unwalkable — and the top 15 are shown.
