How is this calculated?

We score every suburb 0–100 against eight benchmarks a working buyer's agent watches: capital growth, rental yield, vacancy, listings trend, population growth, income growth, budget headroom, and the construction pipeline within reach.

The composite is a weighted average. The Top Picks above re-rank under a Growth-tilted, Yield-tilted, and Balanced scheme so each investor profile gets a single recommendation.
