Two more derived metrics are defined in the platform and waiting on upstream-data orchestration. Each will populate here once its source series is wired through.

Affordability trend

Coming soon

RPPI year-on-year divided by WPI year-on-year. Above 1.0 means home prices are outpacing wages; below 1.0 means wages are catching up.

Awaiting: ABS RPPI (6432.0) + WPI (6345.0) GCCSA-grain orchestration.

Rent–price momentum spread

Coming soon

CPI rents year-on-year minus RPPI year-on-year. Positive means rents are gaining on prices; negative means prices are running ahead of rents.

Awaiting: ABS CPI rents component + RPPI orchestration.
