Analyst Notes — Midland
Demand 4/10: commercial vacancy on Great Northern Highway exceeds 18% — a clear signal of foot traffic below the threshold for new hospitality entrants.
Vacancy rate this high means the market has already rejected the economics of operating there.
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.
