A quick peek at rental bonds data
The Residential Tenancy Authority rental data includes historical numbers on rental bonds. Have always wanted to look into this more deeply but a very quick look on a 5 year perspective of total rental bonds lodged for the northern tropical cities:
| 2012 | 2017 | Growth | |
| Cairns Regional Council | 22668 | 23871 | 5.3% |
| Townsville City Council | 20409 | 24165 | 18.4% |
| Mackay Regional Council | 9768 | 12443 | 27.4% |
Total bonds lodged includes some minor sectors where reporting may have changed. This has also been adjusted for Douglas de-amalgamation. Something doesn’t look right so hope I haven’t got something wrong.
