Negative gearing by mesh block (by suburb)
/v1/suburbs/{suburb_name}/market/negative-gearing-map20¢ per callShare of each microburb's investment properties that are negatively
geared (our estimate, 0-100), with how many properties it is taken over.
Values only; polygons come from /shapes/mesh-blocks.
Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.
Price: 20¢ per call.
