How these figures are calculated
Rents are from new residential leases lodged with the state bond authority, which publishes them by area as rolling 12-month figures each quarter. Where several periods or bedroom counts are combined, each published median is weighted by the number of leases behind it. Any figure based on fewer than 10 leases is not shown. Changes compare one 12-month period with the same period one, three or five years earlier. No addresses are included in this data.
