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.

Sales demand
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.

Top-bottom shows whether that demand is rising or falling compared to 12 months ago.

The two axes
Sales demandX axis

median days to sell

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