Modelled from 169,861 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Sydney 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.

2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $540 → $730/wk median new-tenancy rent in 2130, all dwellings pooled · +5% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four).

Every figure is from NSW Fair Trading rental bond lodgements (CC BY) — rents tenants actually signed at, not advertised asks. Postcode is the finest geography the source publishes, and a postcode may span more than one suburb. Middle half = 25th–75th percentile. New-tenancy rents run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.

Crime — recorded key offences (BOCSAR)

Index 36 — below the Sydney average (50 = average) · band low

BOCSAR recorded key offences per resident at POSTCODE level (2130) — a postcode can span neighbouring suburbs. Rates are per RESIDENT — visitor-heavy precincts read high. Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (CC BY 4.0).

🏡 Yield vs growth — who pays here, and does it convert?

Owner-occupier premium. Gross yield 2.6% (bond-median rent $655/wk against a measured unit sale median of $1300k) · measured growth +2.9%/yr — against metro medians of 4.1% and 1.7%/yr across 39 tracked suburbs.

Thin yield, real measured growth — priced by people who want to live here, not by the rent it earns.

Rent trajectory (new-tenancy bond medians, postcode 2130): +3.0%/yr over the last 3 years · +4.8%/yr since 2019 — a level is not a trend; both are shown so neither is implied.

Working: rent = NSW rental bond lodgements, flats, postcode level; growth = like-for-like 2-bed OLS (54 sales) over 15 quarters. Relative labels — "high" means above the metro median in this window, nothing more. Drivers are places and distances, never who lives here.

Delivered & approved supply — what got built around here, honestly windowed

717 dwellings approved in Summer Hill between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (262 applications). Largest: 181dw 74 Carlton Crescent Summer Hill 2130 (2020) · 105dw 55 Smith Street Summer Hill 2130 (2021).

Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 2,875 (2016) to 3,491 (2021) — +616 delivered in that window, +124 of them apartments — measured completion, independent of any approval record.

Council portal records begin August 2019 — approvals before that date are invisible to the automated count and appear here only where curated from public record (and say so). Approved also precedes completed by 1–3 years. State-assessed projects live in the fast-track section, not these counts.

These proposals go straight to NSW state assessment (Housing Delivery Authority pathway) and never appear in council DA counts. Dwelling numbers are the applicant's EOI figures — assessment can trim them. Distance is suburb-centre to project, ±500m.

Housing and jobs targets — INNER WEST LGA

Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, INNER WEST has a five-year housing target of 7,800 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 15,000–21,600 additional jobs by 2046.

The housing target is the supply pipeline for the area: the number of new homes the state expects the council to plan capacity for, concentrated around the centres and station areas the Plan nominates. The jobs figure is published as an aspirational range and is not legislated the way housing targets are.

State rezoning pipeline — Inner West LGA

The Sydney Plan lists 3 state significant rezoning sites in this LGA — land the NSW Government is rezoning (or has rezoned) for additional homes and jobs, alongside council-led supply. Dwelling and jobs figures are preliminary estimates provided by proponents or councils.

These are LGA-level sites, not a statement about any individual property; the Plan does not publish site boundaries or coordinates in this appendix.
