Most Upcoming and Affordable Suburbs in Melbourne

By -
So Melbourne has been named the world's most liveable city for the fourth year in a row (Aug 2014), by the Economist Intelligence Unit's liveability survey of 140 cities. Melbourne received an overall score of 97.5 out of 100, scoring a perfect rating for healthcare, education and infrastructure.

In Nov 2011, the age published a list of livability rankings for  Melbourne Suburbs (data has yet to be updated). I used the rankings from the article and combined it with top school rankings and a survey of rentals using realestate.com.au to create an interactive map on Tableau, shown below. The size of the bubble represents the change in ranking and the color coding shows cheaper rentals in green on the left. On the right hand side map, darker greens represent higher ranking suburbs.


The age also published their own interactive map here.

It's pretty obvious that the Northern suburbs seem to be coming up much faster and have higher rankings with better schools.

Slightly North West, Flemington is very affordable and highly livable, presenting probably the best affordability, overall ranking and improvement in rankings as well as proximity to the city.

Coburg has improved dramatically, though it is still relatively low-ranked, while Huntingdale is a similar and even more affordable option in the East. Further down in the South, Parkdale is both a stable and high-ranking suburb that is also quite affordable.

Other interesting but more expensive suburbs to consider are Cremorne for its solid gain in rankings and proximity to the CBD as well as cheaper rental. On the other side of the CBD, Newport is a higher ranking option with similar level of affordability and relative proximity to the city.

    is really good. I have suggested my daughter to take help from Practice Test Academy, an online academy of a group of CIMA professionals. It saves time and provides one much more chance of practicing for passing the exam on first siting.

Digital Analyst Career Essentials - Google Analytics Certification

Okay, so you've used web tools and metrics to make decisions. Why not get certified? It's free and helps you with your goals, be it marketability or simply gaining confidence you know your way around digital. If you're not already familiar with web analytics, it is probably the best known universe where big data and intuitive browser based GUI tools come together. While you would expect it easy to find the right link to get certified, this is probably the only OFFICIAL link you need to point your browser:  https://academy.exceedlms.com/student/path/2938 There are links from there to access the preparation course materials with all the information you need to know, nothing more. In true Google style, there's a lot of whitespace. Keep in mind: You'll need a score of 80% or higher to pass If you end the assessment early or the timer runs out before you've answered enough questions correctly, you won't pass If you still don't believe me, then...

One night stands vs. long-term relationships

Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of time. Sometimes, time is spent planning and procrastinating as well, and then every hour is worth approximately an average of 40 times as much just before an examination. The 40 times calculation is obviously a result of my now-more-analytical mindset, after going through the physics of cost accounting examinations. You see, it took me an average of 6 to 8 hours for a single chapter at the beginning of my study schedule – this soon became an average of 6 to 8 chapters in a single hour by the end of it. And that’s just the theory part of it. Not practicing is a recipe for disaster – practice is usually the main ingredient of a successful study program, which is why there was a lot of time spent improvising during the examination. Maybe I should wait till mid-July when the results are out to blog about it, but I need to note some important lessons from the three nights and days of the exam - specifically, the CIMA Operational Level papers: E1...
