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 — Woden
Southern town centre anchored by Westfield Woden and ACT Health precinct foot traffic
Large government employer base (DoD, ACT Health) drives reliable weekday lunch trade
Limited independent dining and café options create an opportunity gap
Rent ($230–$350/m²) reflects the lower perceived prestige vs. inner-north precincts
Suburban character dampens evening trade — strong lunch/daytime, quieter dinner window
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.
