How the AusScore works

Every suburb starts at a neutral 50. Everyday amenities — public transport, parks & recreation, schools, shops, healthcare, childcare and emergency services — add up to +35. Recorded crime subtracts up to about −39, weighted so personal-safety offences matter most. The result is a single 0–100 score, built entirely from government data, where a very safe suburb with modest amenity still outranks an amenity-rich suburb with serious crime.

Council leaderboard

All 79 Victorian councils, ranked by AusScore — best overall liveability first. Crime is from the year ending December 2025.

How the ranking works.Each council's AusScore is the population-weighted averageof its suburbs' 0–100 scores, so big or busy councils aren't unfairly penalised. “Offences /1k” (recorded offences per 1,000 residents) and the safety grade are shown alongside for context.

What we measure

Safety

We measure safety by recording offences per 1,000 residents across three crime categories: property and deception, person-related, and bail and judicial. Each suburb is graded against the typical Victorian median.

Transport

We map every train, tram, bus and regional V/Line service within a 1 km walk of each suburb, showing you the routes and how often they run. A quick way to understand your commuting options.

School zones

We show the official primary and secondary school catchment zones that cover each suburb, drawn from the Victorian Department of Education. Use this to see which state schools are assigned to your area.

Amenities

Parks, recreation, sport, childcare and shops within reach — the everyday amenities that lift the AusScore.

Essential services

We locate the nearest police station, hospital, ambulance and fire facility to each suburb. Useful to know in an emergency or when planning where to live.

Cost of living

Typical weekly rent by dwelling size from government bond data — with sale prices coming soon.
