How the Eden Valley figure is calculated

  1. Take every tenancy bond lodged with Tenancy Services in Q1 2026 for the statistical area that is Eden Valley — 39 of them.
  2. Discard any cell built on fewer than five bonds. MBIE withholds those to protect individual tenants, which is why some bedroom sizes below show a dash.
  3. Publish the released median unchanged — Eden Valley is a single statistical area, so no combining step is needed.
  4. Report the median rather than the average: a handful of very expensive tenancies cannot drag it.
    weekly median = published area median annual gross rent = weekly median × 52 = $27,456
