Wellington

Property data for Wellington. Rent, demographics, deprivation, and a desk for ranking and comparing without leaving the region.

Wellington sits inside this section. Its data does not arrive uniformly: rent is best read at the SA2 level, deprivation in deciles, and population from the Census 2023 baseline. This bulletin opens with the suburbs that anchor most decisions — the largest by population and the lowest-deprivation entries with real scale — before handing off to the regional desks below.

Treat the medians as starting reads. Treat the suburb pages as where the work actually happens. The desks at the bottom of the page are there for when browsing alone is not enough.
