How these figures are calculated
What the middle and the quarter marks are

Sort the 198 rents from lowest to highest. The middle one is $1,180 a week.

A quarter of the way along the sorted list is $1,100, and three quarters of the way along is $1,270.

Statisticians call the middle the median, and the two quarter marks the lower and upper quartile. All four figures come from the same 198 lodgements, data to June 2026.

How these figures are calculated

Five lodgements, and what that means for the figures

The three figures on the left are printed in full. They are calculated exactly as in Table 1, from five rents rather than 198.

Across every cell in this dataset, version data to June 2026, the middle cell holds two lodgements. A count of five is common here rather than unusual.

The diagonal hatch and the single filled gauge segment mark the very thin tier wherever it appears.

How these figures are calculated

This is a real zero, not a missing figure

No bond was lodged for a five-bedroom house in postcode 2017 during June 2026. The cell is empty in the source data. Nothing failed to load and nothing is being withheld.

Other bedroom counts and dwelling types in postcode 2017 do hold lodgements. The selection control at the top of Table 1 changes the combination.

NotesHow to read these tables

Confidence tiers

Every cell is marked with the number of bond lodgements behind it. The gauge loses one filled segment at each tier, and the surface behind the figure gains ink. Two cells can therefore be ranked without reading their counts.

This table scrolls sideways for the remaining columns.

How these figures are calculated

Each cell holds the rents recorded on bonds lodged in one postcode, for one dwelling type, one bedroom count and one calendar month. The rents are sorted from lowest to highest. The middle rent and the two quarter marks are read straight off that sorted list. No adjustment, weighting or smoothing is applied.

Statisticians call the middle rent the median, and the quarter marks the lower and upper quartile. This page uses the plainer words in its tables and the statistical ones here.

Counted across every cell in this dataset, version data to June 2026, the middle cell holds two lodgements. Of all cells, 86 per cent hold fewer than ten. A small count is the normal case here, not a fault in one cell.
