Victoria groups its suburbs into thirteen regions and publishes a median for each, computed over every lease in the region.
At $540 a week, North Western Melbourne is higher than 38% of the 13 VIC regions we hold.
Rents there are up 3.8% over the past year, about the same as the typical VIC region (up 4.8%).
Based on 17,743 new leases, which is a large enough sample to be steady quarter to quarter.
Of the 13 suburbs inside it that we hold, half rent above $550 a week. That is the middle suburb, not the figure above, which the publisher computed over every bond here.
Moving annual median, being the median across every lease signed in the preceding twelve months, which is smoother than a quarterly figure and lags one.
Ranked by the same figure in the same quarter, so they are comparable. Sort by any column, or search the list by name.
