A closer look

What the 2024 rental review found

10.8%

SA3 rents rose 10.8% on average in the 12 months to May 2024. Capital city SA3s rose 12.6% and regional SA3s 6.4%.

4 to 16

16 Greater Melbourne SA3s made our top 50 highest-pressure rental list, up from 4 a year earlier. Greater Sydney rose from 9 to 12.

84%

Population grew 2.47% in FY2022-23, the fastest pace in more than 50 years. Overseas migration drove 84% of the increase.

Australia’s rental crisis is showing signs of easing. However, an eased crisis is still a crisis. In fact, it is far from over.
