How is a suburb scored?
A suburb is ranked against its peers: every suburb in the same state with published homes of the same type in the same month. Suburbs follow the Australian Bureau of Statistics' 2021 suburbs and localities.
The score is built from five parts:
- Growth, 25%
- Rental market, 25%
- Liquidity, 20%
- Stability, 15%
- Risk signals, 15%
Two suburbs can score the same and get there in different amounts, so the page shows each part as well as the total. Where a suburb has too little evidence for a part, that part reads Unavailable. It never counts as zero.
What can I compare?
A comparison holds up to four suburbs of one home type, houses or units. It sets their scores side by side with each one's opportunities and watch-outs.
Its market ranges are:
- sale prices and asking rents
- gross yield and vacancy over twelve months
- time to sell and homes for sale
- yearly value growth over five years
Census and area figures, such as unemployment, add local context and do not count towards the score. The comparison names no winner, and you can save it as a PDF.
Where do I start?
Once you have an account, open Suburb research, then search for a suburb or select it on the map. How suburb research works shows each rule with an example.
