How the Grange figure is calculated

  1. Take every tenancy bond lodged with Tenancy Services in Q1 2026 for the statistical area that is Grange — 15 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 — Grange 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 = $34,580

Rent by property typeQ1 2026

The headline median covers every property type together, so the mix matters — a suburb with many rooms or studios shows a lower overall median than its houses alone.

Property typeMedian weeklyBondsShare
House$6801280%
Boarding House$130640%

Source · MBIE Tenancy Services — Q1 2026 · Property-type split · Reviewed Aug 2026 · Method

Read this median carefully. Roughly 40% of new tenancies in Grange are single rooms or boarding-house places, which cost far less than a whole property. That pulls the headline median down, and a house here typically rents for $680.
