MCG Four-Pillar Lifestyle Index 2025

The 2025 edition of the MCG Four-Pillar Lifestyle Index measures the intrinsic
liveability of every SA3 market in Australia by scoring four immutable attributes:
coastal amenity (Beach), green assets (Nature), metropolitan access (Urban), and
community depth (Family). Each pillar is weighted equally and summed to a 20-point scale.

Key findings reveal a simple hierarchy. The ten “all-rounder” regions marry strong lifestyle appeal with some of Australia’s most resilient price growth. Their
medians have at least doubled since 2015 while weathering shallower pull-backs than single-pillar hotspots. Warringah, Stirling, Wanneroo, Wollongong and
Townsville lead, showing lifestyle depth isn’t limited to Sydney’s harbour fringe.
