Modelled from 146,492 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Melbourne cells run on the base model (suburb prior + configuration + time) without the Sydney-only land/school/transport features — ranges are honest about the wider uncertainty. Estimates from comparable auction results — not valuations or financial advice.

Crime — recorded criminal incidents, year ending March 2026

Index 80 — well above the Greater Melbourne average (50 = average) · 81.9 key incidents per 1,000 residents · year-on-year +4%

Most recorded: Steal from a motor vehicle (350) · Other theft (100) · Motor vehicle theft (82)

Key offences: homicide, assault, sexual offences, robbery, property damage, burglary/break-and-enter, theft (CSA subdivisions A10/A20/A30/A70/B20/B30/B40).

Schools whose ADDRESS is in Kensington — residents are often zoned to schools in neighbouring suburbs too; check the actual zone for any address at findmyschool.vic.gov.au. ICSEA is the socio-educational advantage of a school's community (national average ~1000) — a demographic measure, not a quality or results score.

Getting to the CBD — peak, from the suburb centre

About ~17 min door-to-CBD: 0 min walk to Kensington (train) + ~4 min typical peak wait + 13 min scheduled ride.

PTV GTFS (metropolitan train + tram) (open data) — scheduled weekday services, rail family only (buses excluded); walk = suburb centre to nearest station, crow-flies ×1.3 at 80 m/min; wait = half AM-peak headway capped at 6 min; ride = median scheduled time to the CBD hub. Estimates for the suburb CENTRE — your block differs.
