The report I cited, “Global Liveability Index 2018 (Free Overview)”, is [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/19bIUIqBFw8dRzrc2sND_S_YVpSQHQLIz/view?usp=sharing). Some of the metrics do overlap (particularly crime/safety).

Households in close proximity to shopping was one of the original [complete communities indicators](https://forum.atxfriends.org/t/complete-communities-indicators-resolution/471) in the Imagine Austin plan. To some extent, it is captured in the WalkScore metric, which incorporates access to amenities via walking in its calculation.
