Victoria sits at City Score rank #266 with a standing of 44%, from 7 of 8 open-data pillars (tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, growth, safety). Missing pillars score at median standing so thin coverage cannot inflate the rank. Dropping 132 places versus 2022 (#134 → #266).
Latest owned placements: building permit value rank #22 of 25 (2025); indoor radon rank #312 of 327 at 41 Bq/m³ survey mean. Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.
