PRICE POSTURE
Prices come from release-based suburb series.

Official quarterly house sales workbooks; units remain on ABS fallback coverage

RENT POSTURE
Rent is using a state market dataset when available.

SERVICE POSTURE
Service coverage is matched locally, not inferred nationally.

Schools, transport, and hospitals are useful as presence signals, but they still have different source cadences.
