Understand and enhance local liveability
Invaluable national data for governments to benchmark and improve community liveability
Capturing community values and performance
In 2021 44 governments partnered with Place Score to deliver the first Australian Liveability Census. Over 32,000 records were collected directly from people across the country, in all regions and from all demographic groups. The results set the foundation for a longitudinal study to better understand what really matters to your community and how local neighbourhoods are performing – during the pandemic and now after. Identified liveability priorities will help guide future investments to make local places better.
2023 Australian Liveability Census
Thanks to insights and feedback from 2021, we have introduced three levels for government participation in the 2023 Australian Liveability Census. Each level offers different degrees of communications support and reporting from Place Score to ensure the most value for your organisation. The three options are:
What does the Australian Liveability Census ask your community?
1. What is most important to you in your ideal neighbourhood?
Care Factor, a unique community values-capture tool allows you to understand what is important to your community. By quantifying the liveability attributes you can better understand local values and how they change over time, and compare to the rest of the country.
2. How liveable is your neighbourhood?
The Place Experience Assessment asks your community to rate the personal contribution, or impact, of 50 neighbourhood liveability attributes. Your community’s overall score out of 100 is compared to the 2023 National Benchmark as well as your top and bottom performers. This data reveals your liveability strengths – as well as areas for improvement.
3. What would make your neighbourhood a better place for you to live?
The single open question, is linked to the incentive competition, where each participant has the chance to win one of 10 x $100 vouchers. The qualitative responses support the quantitative data and provide great ideas to action positive change.
