- How these figures are calculated
Four steps follow. Each one opens where it stands, and each label says what it shows. The same figures are printed in full in the numbered tables further down.
Step 1. Show the range these rents fall in
- Lower quarter
- $1,100
- Middle
- $1,180
- Upper quarter
- $1,270
A quarter of these 198 rents were below $1,100 a week. A quarter were above $1,270 a week. The middle half sat between those two figures.
Statisticians call the middle rent the median, and the two quarter marks the lower and upper quartile. This page uses the plainer words. All three figures come from the same 198 lodgements, June 2026, data to June 2026.
Step 2. Show the twelve months before this one
Over the twelve months to June 2026 the middle rent for this combination was recorded between $1,100 and $1,250 a week. The month-by-month figures, each with the number of lodgements behind it, are printed in Table 1a, and drawn as bars in Figure 1 beside it.
Monthly counts over that year ran from n = 139 to n = 529 lodgements. Dataset version: data to June 2026.
Step 3. Show how these figures are worked out
Each cell holds the rents recorded on bonds lodged in one postcode, for one dwelling type, one bedroom count and one calendar month. Those rents are sorted from lowest to highest, and the middle rent and the quarter marks are read straight off the sorted list. No adjustment, weighting or smoothing is applied.
The ruled note under the figure above prints the count, the month and the dataset version without being opened, and opens to the source page on nsw.gov.au and to how these figures are calculated. Every figure on this page closes in a note of that kind.

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.

All amounts are Australian dollars per week. A quarter of each month's rents were below its lower quarter figure, and a quarter above its upper quarter figure. The lodgements column, n, is the count each row's figures rest on, and it is set beside the month so it is read first; every month here is in the adequate tier, 30 lodgements or more.

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.

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.
| Mark | Tier | Lodgements | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adequate | 30 or more | Plain paper | |
| Thin | 10 to 29 | Tint and dot texture, ruled left edge | |
| Very thin | 1 to 9 | Tint and diagonal hatch, heavy left edge | |
| None recorded | 0 | Grey cross-hatch, dashed rule |
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.
How this edition is arranged
Section 0 is the reader's guide. It prints one figure — the middle rent for one cell — with the count behind it and the tier that count falls in, then four steps that open in place. Step 1 adds the quarter marks, Step 2 the twelve months before, Step 3 the source record, Step 4 the list of tables.
Nothing is held back for those steps. Every figure in the guide is printed again in Table 1, with its month-by-month table and its bar figure. The guide is an order of reading, not a shorter version of the data.
