}About this dataset
Queensland suburbs (September quarter 2017 onwards) and postcodes (March quarter 2012 onwards) with any published value. Current to 2026-09-30; refreshed quarterly.
What it is
What new tenants in Queensland actually pay, by suburb or postcode and quarter. Flats (1 to 3 bedrooms), houses (2 to 4), townhouses (2 to 3) and all dwellings, each with the median weekly rent on new tenancies and the number of new bonds.
What it shows
Per suburb (September quarter 2017 onwards) and per postcode (March quarter 2012 onwards), by quarter: the median weekly rent in dollars and the count of new rental bonds lodged, for nine groups. Suburb data also includes an all-dwellings median; at postcode level only the bond count is given for all dwellings.
Why use it
Queensland publishes leased rents for individual suburbs, so you can compare what was signed in Fortitude Valley and New Farm for a 2-bedroom flat, not just what was advertised. Use it for yield checks, rent-versus-asking gaps (alongside our advertised-rent endpoints), investor shortlists and rent-growth history by bedroom.
How it is built
From the state's residential tenancies authority quarterly bond statistics: the median value of weekly rent paid on new tenancies commencing in each quarter, and the number of new bonds lodged. Figures are as published, matched to our suburb and postcode names. A few suburbs share a name with another Queensland suburb; where the source gives no postcode to tell them apart (Albion, Ascot, Clontarf, Douglas, Mackenzie, Mount Pleasant, Red Hill, Rocky Point, Shelly Beach, Springfield, White Rock) we leave them out rather than guess, and likewise the city-centre rows named only by city (Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville, Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Gladstone, Charters Towers, Banya); use the postcode instead. The source publishes a median even when very few bonds sit behind it, so always read the matching bonds_ count: a median from fewer than about 10 bonds is indicative only. Quarter-on-quarter moves are seasonal; compare year on year.
