Canada and Australia: details that can change the decision
Read country averages alongside local housing choices and access to the same product.
Canada · The impact of housing choice
Canada has 2 recorded cities whose central one-bedroom rents range from C$2,263–C$2,507; this is neither a national rent average nor a distribution of all listings.
| City | Centre / outside centre | Source date |
|---|---|---|
| Toronto | C$2,263 / C$2,030 | 2026-09-18 |
| Vancouver | C$2,507 / C$2,156 | 2026-09-20 |
Do not relabel national salary as pay in these cities. Compare like-sized homes, included utilities and commuting costs; a lower rent may not translate into an equal saving.
Australia · The impact of housing choice
Australia has 2 recorded cities whose central one-bedroom rents range from A$2,435–A$3,672; this is neither a national rent average nor a distribution of all listings.
| City | Centre / outside centre | Source date |
|---|---|---|
| Melbourne | A$2,435 / A$2,004 | 2026-09-15 |
| Sydney | A$3,672 / A$2,548 | 2026-09-20 |
Do not relabel national salary as pay in these cities. Compare like-sized homes, included utilities and commuting costs; a lower rent may not translate into an equal saving.
The same product, a different income burden
