CPI figures

The figures to the left are sourced from the Consumer Price Index Report, produced quarterly by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The figure is not the general CPI figure, it is for rents only.

To find the figures, the complete list of CPI figures for Canberra dwelling rents can be found in ABS CPI Downloads TABLE 9. CPI: Group, Sub-group and Expenditure Class, Index Numbers by Capital City  the worksheet is – Index Numbers: Rents; Canberra. You then need to scroll down through all of the figures in the index until you reach “rents Canberra” (down to table (1129)
