Suburb - Demographics

Local business mix

ABN industry-mix pattern (Diverse / Professional-services-heavy / Mining-exposed / Low-commercial residential) plus the POI categories unusually common in the suburb, with named examples.

Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.

Price: 10¢ per call.
