Commute & amenities

See which suburbs the reports rate best for getting around and for everyday amenities. A report cannot know your journey, so check the real trip at the time you would travel.

Where
What matters to you

Choose the lowest score you would accept. Leave it on "Any" for things that do not matter to you.

The report's single overall score for the suburb.

How the report rates the schools in and near the suburb.

Crime and safety. A higher score means safer.

Access to public transport and main roads.

Shops, parks and everyday services nearby.

How easy it is to get around on foot.

How affordable the suburb is compared with nearby areas. A higher score means more affordable.

The report's view of long-term growth prospects.

Price and order

Leave empty for any price. Suburbs with no house price are left out when you set one.

Clear

Scores run from 0 to 10 and a higher score is always better, including for safety, risk and affordability. They come from the suburb reports, which say when they were last updated. They are a way to compare suburbs, not a measurement, and they do not replace a visit and your own checks.

The note under each suburb is the suburb report's summary of its transport. It cannot know where you work or study. Check timetables, and try the trip at the time of day you would travel.
