    How this was decided

    Method
    Suburbs ranked by published median house sale price, lowest first. Modelled prices are not eligible.
    Data source
    Victorian Department of Transport and Planning
    Who was eligible
    Population 1,000+ and a published median sale price.
    How many suburbs were ranked
    521 suburbs had measured data and met the eligibility rule. Suburbs without measured data were not ranked — they were not scored low, they were left out.
    Independence
    Nobody can buy this award, a place in it, or a change to it. It is computed from public data by a published formula and has no commercial relationship attached.

    Why only Victoria?

    Because that is where a government publishes the measurement. Western Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and Northern Territory publish neither bond rents nor sale prices per suburb, so no equivalent award can be computed there without inventing the numbers — which would make it worthless.

    If that changes, this award widens automatically the next time the data is rebuilt.
