## Key questions
- **How many Australia student housing sites does Real Assets track?** 189 sites as of 31 October 2026, with 187 placed on a map and 363 sourced figures and 24 recorded deals. Coverage: 167 of 189 sites carry a source link and 187 of 189 are on a map. This counts the sites we have recorded, not every student housing site in Australia, and it grows as coverage grows.
- **Which state has the most student housing sites?** Victoria, with 92 of the 189 sites tracked (49%). Next: New South Wales (57), Queensland (18), Western Australia (12), South Australia (9). Coverage: counts are sites tracked, not a census; states that rank lower are in the workspace.
- **Are student housing sites concentrated in a few states?** The three states with the most sites, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, hold 167 of the 189 sites tracked (88%). Coverage: this is the spread of the sites we track, which may differ from the spread of all student housing sites in Australia.
- **Who has the most student housing sites in Australia?** By sites tracked: Student Housing Australia (50), Scape (42), UniLodge (19), Iglu (15), Campus Living Villages (12). This ranks by sites tracked, not by beds, so a ranking by capacity or area can put the same names in a different order. Coverage: the 5 named hold 138 of 189 sites tracked; a site is listed under the operator its source names, and where none is named it is not attributed.
- **How many beds do these sites hold?** Operating: 47,596 beds. Planned or under construction: 17,239 beds. Operating means a site that is open; planned means announced, planned or under construction. The two are different statuses and are never added together. Coverage: beds is reported for 137 of 189 sites; a site with no reported figure adds nothing.
- **How many beds is in Victoria?** In Victoria, beds is 16,831 beds operating and 3,379 beds planned or under construction. The split by site is as of 30 October 2026. Coverage: reported for 40 of 90 sites in Victoria; the rest add nothing.
- **Which operators have the most student housing sites in Victoria?** By sites tracked in Victoria: Student Housing Australia (50), Scape (17), UniLodge (7), Iglu (4). The split by site is as of 30 October 2026. Coverage: sites in Victoria whose source names no operator are not attributed to anyone here.
- **Where are Student Housing Australia's student housing sites?** Student Housing Australia has 50 sites tracked: 50 operating and 0 planned or under construction. Largest states: Victoria (50). The split by site is as of 30 October 2026. Coverage: Student Housing Australia is the largest operator by sites tracked, and these are the sites we have recorded under its name, not necessarily everything it runs.
- **How many student housing deals has Real Assets recorded?** 24 deals in Australia, each with its date and a link to the page that reported it. The full list is in the workspace after sign-in. Coverage: these are deals reported by the pages we read, not every transaction in the market.
- **Where does the data come from?** Figures link to the page that published them; 167 of 189 sites here carry a source link. Publishers behind this market's data include Property Council of Australia, Australian PBSA Registry, Amber, Iglu, UniLodge. How a source line reads, and what is left out, is on the methods page. Coverage: a site without a source link is listed as recorded and its figures are not shown as sourced.
- **When was this student housing data last updated?** The public figures on this page are as of 31 October 2026. They change as sites, sources and deals are added. Coverage: this is the date of the latest public export of counts, not of every record in the workspace.
