How to read this ranking

Use highest income suburbs as a shortlist tool, then verify the finalists in detail.

BEST FOR

Finding which areas deserve a closer look first.

This ranking works best as a first-pass screen in VIC, especially when you need to reduce a wide field quickly.

READ IT AS

One signal in the workflow, not the whole answer.

A rank is useful because it compresses one dimension well, but it never replaces the fuller suburb-level picture.

NEXT STEP

Move into compare or suburb detail once a few names repeat.

Use the ranking to build a shortlist, then confirm whether those finalists still hold up on the rest of the data.

VERIFY evidence

Single-signal shortlist screen

A ranking compresses one signal well, but it should hand you into compare or suburb detail before becoming a decision.

SHORTLIST SCREEN

Top candidates are research leads.

Save a small working set, then use compare and evidence depth before treating any row as a decision.

Shortlist flow

Use #1 Richmond and #2 Port Melbourne as the first compare pair.

Rankings are strongest when they hand you a shortlist quickly. Compare the top two first, then open suburb detail if the head-to-head result still feels narrow.
