Soil organic carbon, pH and texture come from the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia; salinity, erosion and waterlogging susceptibility from Victorian land systems mapping. Planning overlays and zones are from the Victoria Planning Provisions. Land use is from the Victorian Land Use Information System, groundwater from the Victorian monitoring network, and terrain from the national elevation model. Market context is the published Valuer-General Victoria suburb median — a suburb indicator, never a property valuation.

Rural lots are those in Victoria's rural zone suite: Farming, Green Wedge, Rural Living, Rural Conservation and Rural Activity zones.
