Source: Rank is a composite score—distance from the CBD (weighted 60%, closer ranks higher), share of residential land highly restricted (25%), and total residential area (15%, log-scaled)—each min-max normalised across all councils for the national rank, or within the state when a city is selected. Boundaries: ABS 2025 LGAs, filtered to ≥1.5 km² of residential land.
