Ranked on the year-on-year change in the ABS estimated resident population (ERP), latest year available. Suburbs with fewer than 500 residents, or too little data to rank fairly, are left out. Movement compares each suburb's position on the year before, among suburbs ranked in both periods. How the rankings are calculated.
