Latest updates to Perth suburb crime data, school ratings, property prices, interactive maps, and more.
The biggest change to BurbScore since launch: seven new map overlays covering every planning decision that shapes Perth's suburbs. See what's zoned, what's permitted, what's coming, and what's permanently protected — before you buy, rent, or invest.
Before you sign a contract on a Perth property, you should know whether it's in a flood zone, a bushfire prone area, an aircraft noise corridor, or an industrial buffer. Now you can check any address in one tap — and turn the whole picture on with a master switch.
Every Perth suburb now carries five overlay layers covering the environmental hazards that actually affect where you live — DWER flood zones, DFES bushfire prone areas, aircraft noise ANEF contours, road and rail noise corridors, and the WA development pipeline.
Two big additions: walkability scores for every suburb, plus new metric settings that let you customise how commute, school, and other scores are calculated to match your priorities.
New blog section with ranked guides — safest suburbs, cheapest to rent, best for families — all backed by live data.
See which government schools your address falls into with official DoE catchment boundaries on the map.
Compare up to 4 suburbs across every metric — crime, schools, affordability, demographics, and commute times — in a single view.
Explore crime rates across Perth on an interactive map with filters for offence type, year, and population.
