Factor Breakdown
Each factor is scored 1–10. Higher demand is better; lower rent, competition, and seasonality are better. Tourism is context-dependent by business type.
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 — Joondalup
Demand 6/10: major northern hub, but oversaturated with established chains (The Coffee Club, Dome, Gloria Jean's).
Competition 8/10: independent operators cannot compete on volume; rent-to-revenue for new entrants exceeds 22%.
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 Perth suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability.
