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.

Sales market velocity

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
