The report highlights Inner Perth’s outstanding population health, marked by an average life expectancy of 85 years and significantly lower rates of premature deaths compared to national figures.

Perth’s south-west and north-west also ranked highly, in second and fourth place respectively.

Brisbane’s inner city was ranked the second healthiest place to live with long life expectancy around 84 years, low rates of premature death and favourable environmental conditions.

The study noted Brisbane’s south, which came in fifth place, also had similar favourable health outcomes.

Sydney’s eastern suburbs was ranked the sixth healthiest place to live due to good healthcare access with eight doctors to every 1000 people and an average life expectancy of 84.9 years.

Inner Melbourne and Inner South Melbourne claimed the seventh and eighth spots for excellent healthcare and decent climate conditions despite some colder days.

Adelaide’s central and hills and the Australian Capital Territory rounded out the top 10, thanks to low overcrowding, strong health outcomes and good access to hospitals.
