Derived population-weighted mean of up to four postcode asking-rent series, not a council/suburb median. ABS 2021 Postal Areas approximate postcodes; source coverage can be partial. Councils without an observation are left out of that ranking rather than estimated. Asking rents are advertised prices, not signed leases.
