The strongest suburbs, ranked on the numbers.
A single Strength Score for every QLD suburb with a real market — built from five-year growth, gross yield, one-year momentum and how much actually sells, percentile-ranked across the state. Not an opinion; the numbers' own ranking. Click any suburb for its full read.

How the Strength Score is built
Each suburb is percentile-ranked against every other QLD suburb (with at least 10 sales a year, so thin rural markets don't distort it) on four real Cotality measures: 5-year median-value growth (35%), gross rental yield (25%), 1-year momentum (20%) and sales turnover (20%). The weighted average is scaled 0–100. A high score means a suburb that is growing, yielding and liquid at once — the combination that actually stacks up, not just one number looking good.
Suburbs on the rise, before they peak.
The emerging markets — where growth is accelerating, prices are still affordable and demand is picking up. This ranks momentum over establishment: the suburbs starting to move, not the ones that already have. Click any for its full read.

What “up and coming” means here
Ranked on four real signals: acceleration (this year’s growth running ahead of its five-year pace, 35%), affordability (cheaper suburbs have more room to run, 25%), current momentum (25%) and real demand (sales turnover, 15%). It deliberately favours suburbs that are still affordable but heating up — the opposite of the Strength Score, which rewards already-established markets.

The value of home renovation and extension approvals by area — from the ABS Alterations & Additions figures you supply each month. A surge here means owners are investing in an area rather than leaving it: one of the earliest signs a suburb is on the rise, before prices fully catch up.

How to read these
Approvals 12mo is every dwelling the council approved in the last twelve real months; growth is that against the twelve before. Unemployment, income and SEIFA are ABS regional figures. Crime is real QLD Police offences per 100,000 people (Queensland only). House median and yield are council-level, not suburb. DA days is the real median from lodgement to decision in this app's own database. Population to 2046 is the QLD Government's own projection.

Most approvals in the last 12 months
The number beside each bar is the change against the twelve months before — that is the part that says which way an area is turning.
Fastest growing, of the big builders
Growth off a large base — only councils approving at least 1,000 homes a year, so a shire that went from one house to twelve cannot top the list.
Approvals by state
The same twelve months, totalled by state.
