Geelong's Mistrust Index: A Revealing Look at Community Distrust in Suburban Neighborhoods

The proportion of people who reported that they believe most people cannot be trusted on the Victorian Population Health Survey.

The Mistrust data from the Victorian Population Health Survey could be useful for property investors and those looking to move as it provides insight into the social fabric of a suburb. High levels of mistrust could indicate a lack of community cohesion and potentially impact the livability of the area. For example, if a suburb has a high mistrust ranking, it may be more difficult to establish relationships with neighbors or feel a sense of belonging in the community. This could be a consideration for families or individuals looking for a tight-knit community. On the other hand, a low mistrust ranking could indicate a more welcoming and inclusive community, which may be attractive to those seeking a sense of belonging. Overall, the Mistrust data can provide valuable information for those looking to move or invest in property, as it can help them make informed decisions about the social environment of a suburb.
