Empty homes count.
How many rentals sit empty right now — advertised as available to move in today, no waiting — capital by capital, and how tight that makes each market. Toggle between the raw count of empty rentals and the vacancy rate; the bar ranks the capitals.
How to read it: Empty homes is the number of rentals currently sitting vacant in each capital — the sum across its local markets; Vacancy rate is those vacancies as a share of the advertised rental pool. A rental is counted only where it is advertised as immediately available to move in — listings carrying a future availability date are excluded, so this is genuinely available stock, not a waiting list. The right column gives the other measure plus the market carrying the most empties (or the highest vacancy). Rolling 3-month vacancy to May 2026 by SA3 market; markets with too little rental stock are held back. Greater Capital City areas, ABS GCCSA. Source: Suburbtrends.
Kent will send the full ranking behind this exact cut — every market, by capital city and rest-of-state — and a quote you can attribute, with an embargo if you need one. Kent is available for interviews and podcasts — he'll confirm a time.
