How Steward thinks

Steward reads from the suburb scorecard's zoning + heritage-overlay metrics (sourced from state planning department + state heritage register) and the infrastructure-pipeline metric (sourced from state and federal infrastructure project registers, refreshed monthly). The data lineage is published in methodology paper section 1 (data-source dependency map). Read the methodology paper.
