- Ranked by sites tracked, not by beds. A site counts once, under the name its source gives. Another ranking may use capacity or area and order the same names differently.
- Operating is a site that is open. Planned is a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. The two are shown in separate columns and are never added together.
- Counts are sites recorded, not a census of the student housing market in Australia, and they grow as coverage grows. Beds is reported for only some sites, so a blank means not reported, not zero.
