Warwick currently leads this Western Australia list. Suburbs ranked by overall desirability score — a weighted index from eight pillars including safety, housing, education, accessibility, lifestyle, environment, future growth and community. Scores are normalised within metro, coastal and regional cohorts. The index is relative to this list (100 = the top suburb here), not an overall suburb rating. Very small localities can rank highly when nearby services score well — check population and housing on each profile before treating a rank as a place to live.
