The survey uses a measurement of ‘median multiple’ to rank affordability, which is found by dividing median house price by gross annual median household income. This method is the same favoured by the United Nations and the World Bank.
From there the markets are ranked from “affordable” (3.0 or less) to “severely unaffordable” (5.1 and over).
The report assessed...
Queensland is home to some of the world's best beaches, but are some sections of our coastline closed to the public?
