Release-based suburb price series, not a live market feed
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 Market rent, Crime, Schools, and Hospitals. Missing or weaker areas are still shown so the page does not overstate precision.
Use compare to test the suburb against another candidate, then validate financial assumptions in the calculator where available.
