New rental bonds in that postcode had a median weekly rent of $650 in 2025, up 9.2% from $595 in 2024. That is about 6% below the NSW median of $695. Bond medians describe new lodgements with Fair Trading, not every current lease in the suburb. Teralba recorded 328 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, up 3.8% from 316 a year earlier. These are police-recorded incidents, not convictions, and they are not adjusted for how many people live or visit here. House bonds typically leased at $700 a week and flats/units at $498. Townhouse bonds sat at $770 a week. Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $550; three-bedroom bonds $650. One-bedroom bonds sat at $400 a week. Four-bedroom bonds sat at $850 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $560 and $800 a week. Fair Trading recorded 359 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $450 to $650 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Transport regulatory offences were 157 (48% of the total); excluding them, the count is 171. Fare and parking enforcement can move that category independently of neighbourhood property or violent crime.
