Update from the previous post with two weeks of SA4 data with regions ranked top to bottom in the legend. Cairns continues to disappoint with a lower trajectory. Gold Coast has picked up pace to surpass Cairns but still remains too low given border location and vulnerability. Previous post: SA4 Vaccination Rates
To follow the previous post a look at Cairns rental bonds lodged which fell at September 30 2021 to their lowest level since the September quarter 2013: The Y axis here has been truncated for emphasis. To look at this on a normal scale by postcode: The rental share of central postcode 4870 has also…
RTA rental data released today for the September quarter show continued increases in 3 bedroom houses in North Queensland: Somewhat less and also more volatile in 2 bedroom units: Annual median rental growth rates are still high but all below the previous quarter. This cycle also comes into play with some of the current debate…
Read more Cairns Rents going to the moon …… or rolling over?
An interim release of JobSeeker data to the Senate Covid Committee as at October 8. This is two weeks after the September data which was to the 24th. Cairns SA4 JobSeekers in this period, which also coincides with the school holiday period, fell by 211 to the lowest since March 2020 but remains above that…

Cairns Airport have posted traffic numbers for September. My preferred perspective compared as a percentage of pre-covid 2019: Pretty awful but September numbers this year were 28,632 above 2020. BITRE lagging data is to July 2021 on top routes: Hard to keep up with the timeline of events here. Victoria had an early lockdown but…
Thanks again to Michael Klapdor for an early link to September JobSeeker data provided to the Senate Covid-19 Committee. Cairns SA4 numbers partially reversed the August increase. My preference still is to look at this as a percentage of the estimated eligible age population now updated to June 2020. The salient point of these graphs…
Weekly payroll data from ABS has been updated to September 11. Index is based to 100 in the week to March 14 2020.Two points of caution around this data. First, the most recent weeks data in a release tends to subsequently be revised upwards which may make the trend appear weaker than the subsequent revision.…
Updated Google mobility to Saturday 24 September covers the first week of school holidays. The school holiday periods are shaded here. There is a distinct fall in the workplace category which appears to be a feature of the data series represented here as a 7 day moving average. The period of big falls in between…
