Best suburbs in Melbourne

Ten rankings, each computed from the same open data behind our 216 Melbourne suburb profiles. Every one states the formula it used.

Why these differ from the usual lists. The "best suburbs" articles you will find elsewhere are written by removalists, agencies and buyer's agents, and none of them publish a method or a sourced number. These are computed from official crime statistics, census income, OpenStreetMap parks and cafés, and open GPS activity traces — and each page shows you the working.
