Is there a website with some sort of interactive statistical map?
Posted on April 5th, 2011 by admin
I’m not sure if that makes sense…
What I would like is some sort of statistics/data overlaid with a map of Australia (or any region within Australia) so I can compare possible future areas I might like to live in. I’d find this easier than just having a written list and having to sort through names of suburbs.
Info I would like to compare:
Climate – average temp, rainfall etc (though I could always go to a meteorological site after choosing a few locations)
Average rental price/ vacancy rate
Incidences/risk of natural disasters like flooding, bushfires, cyclones etc
Unemployment rate/ general outlook on the job market (with maybe a clickable thing to show the breakdown of jobs into various industries; e.g. lots of mining jobs around Perth)
Transport – how accessible/affordable/reliable is the public transport? What’s the road quality and commute like? Is it easy to find your way around? What’s the petrol price like?
Crime – maybe an overview, like a heads-up if an area is right in between two very violent rival gangs or something. Would it even be public record to show statistics like how many arrests were made in a year and for what sorts of reasons (domestics, drugs, theft, violence, drink driving or whatever the main categories are)?
Maybe even a basic profile of the kind of people who live there. That could be very stereotypical I know, but I don’t want to move into an area full of snobby homophobic religious types, and if it attracts a certain ethnic group I’d like to choose which one so I can practice my language skills and actually enjoy the food when I invite my neighbours over for a pot-luck dinner.
If that’s too much, could you help me with a website that could provide me with just one of the above? For example, does a website like realestate.com.au have a page showing the median rental price for the different areas based on what’s been advertised on there?
Thanks in advance for your help with researching an area to move to.
I’m afraid there is no such site, even for one of the categories except perhaps climate, but you may find these sites useful

Other states also have sites with crime statistics.

You might just need to tell us what sort of things you are looking for and a rental budget and we could give you some suggestions.
While some location-based apps are still finding a way to be useful, Zillow is already there. The online real estate mavens have created an app that lets you stroll through a neighborhood and find out the estimated value of any house you can see—including the home of your boss or nemesis. And if you’re in the market for a new home, you can see which houses are on the market in the ‘hoods you’re walking through…without having to click through dozens of photos on your desktop and try to find it on a map.
