Five lodgements is a very small set. One unusual property moves this figure a long way.
A set this size is the common case here, not the exception. Across this dataset — NSW bond lodgements, data to June 2026 — half of all selections rest on two lodgements or fewer.

Listing sites
Advertised listings are published on the sites below. Each link opens a search on that site for 2-bedroom flats and units in postcode 2017. Listings are advertised asking prices rather than lodged bonds. Neither site is preferred, neither is connected to this page, and none of their content is reproduced here.

What "lower quarter" and "upper quarter" mean
Line up all 198 lodged rents from cheapest to dearest.
The lower quarter mark, $1,100 a week, is the point a quarter of the way along. A quarter of these rents were below it.
The median, $1,180 a week, is the point halfway along. Half of these rents were below it.
The upper quarter mark, $1,270 a week, is the point three quarters of the way along. A quarter were above it.
Statisticians write these three as Q1, median and Q3. Postcode 2017 · Flats/Units · 2 bedrooms · June 2026 · n = 198 lodgements · data to June 2026.

Four · Keyboard focus
The focus treatment is a black ring held off the element by a small gap, then a paper-coloured halo, so it stays visible over a rule, a hatched panel or a filled button. The button below wears it.
Tab to any link, disclosure, field or button on this page to see the same ring.

Reading the marks
How much evidence a figure rests on
The measure in every footing runs from full to empty as the evidence thins. It shows the band, not the count — the count is printed beside it, every time.
- Adequate — 30 lodgements or more. Measure full; solid left rule on the panel. Shown plainly.
- Thin — 10 to 29 lodgements. Measure half; dashed left rule.
- Very thin — 1 to 9 lodgements. Measure a stub; dotted left rule; hatched panel. The figure is still shown.
- None — no lodgements. Measure empty; grey left rule; densely hatched panel; no figure to print.
Marks on a strip
- Filled bar. The middle half of lodged rents.
- Black crossbar. The median.
- Hatched, dashed bar. The set behind it is very thin.
- Filled blue triangle. A rent figure entered by the reader — the proposed rent. Blue is used for nothing else on this page.
- Hollow triangle. The rent being paid now, also entered by the reader.

How these figures are worked out
Every figure on this page comes from bonds lodged with NSW Fair Trading for a tenancy in the selected postcode, dwelling type and bedroom count.
A bond is lodged when a tenancy starts. Each figure therefore describes rents newly agreed in that month. It does not describe rents already being paid under tenancies that started earlier.
The median and the two quarter marks are read straight off the lodged rents for that month. Nothing is smoothed, modelled or filled in. A month with no lodgements is shown as having none.
