How the Red Beach figure is calculated

  1. Take every tenancy bond lodged with Tenancy Services in Q1 2026 for the 2 statistical areas that make up Red Beach — 18 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. Combine the area medians with a bond-count-weighted geometric mean, so a small area with three tenancies cannot swing the suburb figure.
  4. Report the median rather than the average: a handful of very expensive tenancies cannot drag it.
    weekly median = geomean(area medians, weight = bond count) annual gross rent = weekly median × 52 = $40,560
