Why are some State Rank and star ratings blank? Schools can choose not to publish their results. In practice, schools that score well above their state average almost always publish theirs — so a blank rating more often reflects a school opting out than a top result being hidden. Academic results also tend to rise with ICSEA Rank, so higher-ICSEA schools more often carry a strong State Rank as well.

School profile and ICSEA data sourced from ACARA — © Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (data year 2025) · State Rank & star columns are Micromarkets-compiled academic ratings from publicly available school results · Distances are straight-line from the suburb centre, not catchments.

How strong is sales demand — and is it rising or falling?
What this shows

Each dot is one of this suburb's property segments on the sales side. Left-right shows how strong sales demand is — combining how many properties sold in the last 12 months with how quickly they sold (median days on market). Top-bottom shows whether that demand is rising or falling compared to 12 months ago.

The two axes
Sales demandX axis

Days on market change (Year-on-year)Y axis
is demand rising or falling?

How much faster (or slower) sales are completing compared to 12 months ago. Top half means sales are completing faster than a year ago (demand growing).

How fast — and is it getting faster?
What this shows

Combines the current median days on market with how much faster or slower it is changing compared to last year. Top-right means a fast-selling market that is getting faster compared to last year — peak demand.

The two axes
Days on marketX axis
median days to sell

Median days a property sits on the market before selling. Right side = fewer days (faster).

Days on market change (Year-on-year)Y axis
vs 12 months ago

How much faster (or slower) sales are completing compared to 12 months ago. Top = sales completing faster than a year ago.

Market data

How much stock is available right now?

How long current listings would take to clear at the recent rate of sales or leases. Critical shortage and Oversupply only fire at the genuine tails of the national distribution — sales tip in under 0.7 months, rentals far faster, under 0.3.
