DataVic-discovered annual suburb price workbooks parsed into suburb prices. Quarterly VIC resources are discovered and cached, but not yet used as current-price anchors.

Schools, transport, and hospitals are useful as presence signals, but they still have different source cadences.
This page stays indexable because Cotswold is a real locality with enough context to be directionally useful. The tradeoff is that coverage is lighter than a stronger suburb profile, so the read should stay cautious.
Small-population localities can still be worth checking, but rankings, comparisons, and broad suburb assumptions become noisier faster.
The main gaps on this page are school matches, hospital coverage, and transport stops. That narrows how much confidence you should place on a single-page read.
Use it for context first, then move to compare, the state hub, or a larger nearby suburb before calling it a full market decision.
