Frequently asked questions
Which suburb in Perth has the best entertainment scene?
Daglish tops SuburbCheck's Entertainment Score ranking for Perth, with an Entertainment Score of 98/100. The score reflects the density of licensed venues — pubs, bars, clubs and licensed dining — per 1,000 residents, benchmarked against every Australian suburb.
How is the Entertainment Score calculated?
The Entertainment Score is a national percentile (0–100) based on the density of licensed on-premises venues — pubs, general bars, small bars, clubs and licensed dining — per 1,000 residents. NSW and VIC data comes from government liquor registers; other states use OpenStreetMap. A score of 80 or above puts a suburb in the national top 20% for licensed venue density.
Does a high Entertainment Score mean more crime?
Not in the way most people expect. Our analysis of NSW suburbs found that licensed venue density correlates much more strongly with property theft than with assault or robbery. High-entertainment suburbs often see more opportunistic theft near venues, but interpersonal violence rates are not as strongly linked to venue density as commonly assumed.
