Growth at a Glance
Demand & supply signals
Population growth
Year-on-year change in resident population.
As of Jan 2025
3-year CAGR
Compound annual growth rate over the last 3 years.
As of Jan 2023
Supply pressure
Flagged when population growth is in the top quartile and dwelling approvals per capita are in the bottom quartile. Requires final ERP and at least 50 trailing-12-month approvals; preliminary releases are excluded.
Supply pipeline
Trailing 12-month dwelling approvals as a share of existing stock. Computed when at least 50 approvals are recorded for the SA2.
Migration demand
The state's share of net overseas migration relative to a fair-share baseline by population. Computed once ABS NOM is released for the state.
Approvals vs. completions
Trailing-year dwelling approvals minus completions for the state. Computed once ABS Building Activity is released.
Demand pressure
Composite of state-level population growth and net overseas migration z-scores. Computed once both inputs land for the state.
Serviceability direction
State wage growth (ABS WPI) compared to the national change in housing lending rates (RBA F6 historical). Computed once both series land.
Derived from ABS Estimated Resident Population, Census dwelling counts, dwelling approval counts, net overseas migration, the Wage Price Index, and RBA F6 housing lending rates. Published by the platform's metrics orchestrator on each upstream release.
Roadmap signals
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 soonRPPI 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 soonCPI 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.
