This ranking works best as a first-pass screen in Bay of Plenty, especially when you need to reduce a wide field quickly.
A rank is useful because it compresses one dimension well, but it never replaces the fuller suburb-level picture.
Use the ranking to build a shortlist, then confirm whether those finalists still hold up on the rest of the data.
A ranking compresses one signal well, but it should hand you into compare or suburb detail before becoming a decision.
Save a small working set, then use compare and evidence depth before treating any row as a decision.
