How the Wiri figure is calculated

  1. Take every tenancy bond lodged with Tenancy Services in Q1 2026 for the 2 statistical areas that make up Wiri — 81 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 = $28,548

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$6304859%
Room$5003037%

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

Read this median carefully. Roughly 37% of new tenancies in Wiri 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 $630.
