How Brisbane ranks
Scores run 0 to 100 against every municipality in Australia. Ranks count only the places that pass each profile's minimums, so the totals differ by profile. Regional data: official figures on affordability and jobs and economy, population and geography, with the other criteria modelled from population and location.
