Manual release files parsed into suburb prices
Use current rent as a starting signal, not as a fixed underwriting truth.
Schools, transport, and hospitals are useful as presence signals, but they still have different source cadences.
Direct signals include Property prices, Market rent, and Crime. Treat Schools, Hospitals, and Transport as the main gap before this becomes a stronger decision page.
Use compare before shortlisting so the missing evidence is balanced against nearby suburbs.
