Lightbulb Melbourne's Most Liveable Suburbs

I found the attached study giving a guide to how liveable each of the Melbourne suburbs is. Based on my knowledge of Melbourne, picked up over the last 4 months, I would agree with a lot of the scores. It rates each suburb on 14 different criteria, with 5 being the best score and 0 the worst. I don't know what the source of the data is, but it might help people narrow down the areas they are looking at or add some they hadn't even thought of.

I hope it is of some use, and appologies if someone has already posted this.

Not that useful Louise. Beauy rates high (good) for congestion, schools and beaches proximity but low on tram, CBD proximity, shops (have they ever been to the councourse ?!) and cafes/restaurants. Also we have lots of trees.

Apparently not, we scored high for trees. Not entirely clear why.

To a point, it's meaningless, just a list of features, really, not 'liveability' (desirability)
IE you may live in a 1m$ home but you score 0 for trees and transport. I suppose though if you add up all the points then the total would be indicative.

There are crap suburbs on there, scoring high even though noone wants to live there just because they have shops and 'open space' (my arse). THe survey does not capture subjective 'feel'.

My suburb is not even on the list. Good.

Glad to know my choice of suburb is ok - Essendon North. Particularly valuable if you look at the crime rate rating esp since we have kids. Not much open space, well, probably, the trees took over the spaces! Still ok to me! Of course, data are still data. They can still be erratic.
But DJMA, it still is valuable info. Thanks...

Cheers,
Hannah

No wonder as they are probably the most expensive and "cool" places to be in Melb. Toorak is just .. VERY likable. If I had 1MAUD to pay for a decent apartment, we would live there too!
