Survival & viability analysis
Retail viability: High
The retail opportunity in Hope Valley - Modbury scores 62 out of 100. With a population of 17,677, the catchment is smaller, so demand may support only one well-sited retail outlet. At about 1 existing retail operator, competition sits below typical metro density, an opening for a well-run entrant. Median household income ($68,300) sits below the typical comparable area in the state ($79,000), which can favour value-led formats. Population is growing at 5.8% over five years, ahead of the typical comparable area in the state (4.5%), so new demand is still arriving.
