Our verdict
Hard to justify for a balanced focusEvery figure on Heidelberg's page comes from free, public government data — no scraped listings. Some datasets carry a reporting lag (e.g. Census is 2021, ABS releases settle a quarter behind), so read them as a considered starting point, not live quotes.
