Factor Breakdown
Each factor is scored 1–10. Higher demand is better; lower rent, competition, and seasonality are better. Tourism is context-dependent.
Business-Type Scores
Scores use engine-derived weights: cafés weight demand and rent most heavily; restaurants factor tourism; retail factors tourism and demand equally.
Analyst Notes — Casey
Outer Gungahlin suburb with rapid residential growth and almost no independent operators
Young family demographic (median age 32) with strong demand for convenient dining options
Very low rent ($160–$240/m²) and low competition creates first-mover opportunity
Long drive to inner-city alternatives means local options capture a captive catchment
Risk is that population growth must continue — currently reliant on new-estate expansion
Methodology: Scores are engine-derived from five observable inputs (demand strength, rent pressure, competition density, seasonality risk, tourism dependency — each 1–10). These feed into business-type-specific weighted composites via a single scoring engine used across all markets. Scores are relative estimates calibrated across all Canberra suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability or guarantee.
