Squeeze & stretch.
The gap between the top and the bottom of each market — how far the dearest quarter sits above the cheapest. Switch between sale prices and rents; the bar ranks the capitals by their typical spread.
How to read it: for every market we take the top quarter (75th percentile) and the bottom quarter (25th percentile) and divide one by the other — how many times dearer the top of the market is than the bottom. The bar is each capital's typical (median) market; the right column flags its most stretched and most squeezed market. On sale prices or advertised rents, by SA3 market; thin markets held back. All blends houses and units by volume. 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.
