How this opportunity score works

The score is a weighted 0–100 research signal, not a site-selection decision. It combines, per category:

  • Demand (category fit for the population) — 30%
  • Competition gap (trade-area model, more room scores higher) — 25%
  • Demographic fit (income vs the category) — 20%
  • 5-year population growth (percentile) — 15%
  • Franchise availability (systems recruiting here) — 10%

Inputs: ABS Census 2021 (population, income, growth) and a trade-area competition model using OpenStreetMap / ABS business data where available. It doesn’t model rent, site specifics or local trading conditions, treat it as a starting point for research, then confirm on the ground and with the franchisor. See our methodology.

Survival & viability analysis

Hair & Barber viability: High

The hair & barber opportunity in Loganlea scores 53 out of 100. With a population of 11,987, the catchment is smaller, so demand may support only one well-sited hair & barber outlet.

Median household income ($71,600) sits below the state average ($91,574), which can favour value-led formats.
