About

Who built this, why, and what's deliberately not here.

I'm Declan Doherty and I built NestLedger because I wanted a single answer to "can I afford to live in this suburb?" I couldn't find one without flipping between four government PDFs and a salary calculator. You can reach me at hello@nestledger.com.au.

The editorial stance is data over commentary. Every figure on every page traces back to a named public dataset listed on the sources page: DCJ, RTA, Homes Victoria, SA Housing Authority / Consumer & Business Services, the Department of Justice (Tasmania), and the ABS. If a number doesn't have a primary source I can point at, it doesn't go on the site.

What's not here: no recommendations on where you should live, no affiliate fees from agents or lenders, and nothing stored from what you type into the salary or budget tools, since those run entirely in your browser.
