The lie of the land in Inglewood
The typical building in Inglewood stands on ground sloping 1.4° (read on an 8 m grid, so short steep banks may be understated).
Nearly all of its 3,678 measured buildings (91%) stand on ground under 5°.
The land rises from about 124 m to 281 m, and 13% of all of it, including reserves and gullies, is 15° or steeper.
Slope is not a measure of ground stability. Sources and limits
Distance to the coast from Inglewood
Inglewood is inland: the typical title is 15 km from the sea or harbour edge, and fewer than 1 in 2,000 titles are within 1 km of it.
Measured in a straight line from the centre of each title's land to the coastline on LINZ's 1:50k topographic map, which follows harbours and estuaries as well as the open coast; lakes and rivers are not included. Distance says nothing about beach access, views or exposure to coastal hazards; council hazard maps and the LIM describe those.
