What we measure

Our liveability Index includes all the key ingredients of liveability.

Walkable areas have services to walk to, connected streets and population density.

Public transport has multiple benefits for health and the environment.

Healthy eating is supported by close access to supermarkets and grocers.

Access to alcohol is linked to consumption and health.

Parks, places and greenspaces support health, biodiversity and cooling.

Less cars, more active transport and better work-life balance.

Safe and stable shelter is essential for health and wellbeing.
