CapitalTypical weekly rent (ranked dearest to cheapest)Cheapest / dearest market

How to read it: the bar is each capital's typical (median) weekly rent for the chosen bedroom count and dwelling type, taken across its local markets and ranked dearest to cheapest. The right column gives the cheapest and dearest market behind that figure. Median advertised rents by SA3 market (rolling 12 months); markets with too few rentals of that size are held back, so coverage thins for one-bed houses and four-bed units. Source: Suburbtrends.
