New South Wales divides its councils into Greater Sydney, the rest of the Greater Metropolitan Region, and the rest of the state. The division is the publisher’s own and travels with every figure.
Of the 61 council areas inside it that we hold, half rent above $500 a week. That is the middle council area, and it counts a small market equally with a large one.
Ranked by the same figure in the same quarter, so they are comparable. Sort by any column, or search the list by name.
