What the model is seeing
Café is the strongest scored format at 73/100, 10 points above retail at 63/100. The suburb verdict is VERIFY at 68/100.
No factor is in a tight band. Demand is 7/10, rent pressure 4/10, competition 4/10, and seasonality 2/10. The verdict comes from the weighted blend, not from one red flag.
North Hobart is the nearest scored suburb, about 1.4 km away. Competition 4/10 versus 7/10. Both figures are suburb scores, not a walk between the two shopfronts.
Existing notes name New Town Road, Augusta Road, Risdon Road, Elizabeth Street. Those names are not a rent quote, a visitor count, or a growth rate.
The model result is VERIFY. Local evidence is limited, so this screen is not a lease decision.
How to read these scores

Factor Breakdown
Location factors
Demand, rent, competition, seasonality, and tourism — scored and weighted for Australian commercial operators.
Business-Type Scores
How each format performs
Scores use engine-derived weights: cafés weight demand and rent most heavily; restaurants factor tourism; retail factors tourism and demand equally.
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 Hobart suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability or guarantee.

Other Hobart suburbs to consider
West Hobart
70West Hobart's Cascade Road and Hill Street commercial nodes serve a professional demographic that mirrors Sandy Bay in income profile at materially lower rent — an underrated inner-west entry point.
Kingston
68Kingston is greater Hobart's southern growth centre — population growth from the Kingborough corridor is delivering new professional residents faster than commercial supply is appearing, creating genuine demand gaps for quality operators.
South Hobart
68South Hobart is affluent inner Hobart.
