The gap between metropolitan and regional rents

What separates Greater Sydney from the rest of New South Wales, measured on the publisher’s own regional split rather than on an average of council areas. Covers New South Wales.

The metro/regional spread

New South Wales — the yield needs an observed rent over an observed sale price, and only New South Wales publishes both by region.

Median gross rental yield by the publisher's own geographic classification — not our grouping. It is the largest structural signal in the NSW data.
