Bandar Dato' Onn, JB

• Every rent below is an asking price from a property portal, not a transacted rent.
• Every table states when it was read and how many listings it came from. Thin samples are labelled as such — no averages are computed from a handful of listings.

Only one factory with a Bandar Dato' Onn address appeared among this round's PropertyGuru commercial listings: a 4,878 sq ft cluster factory asking RM11,000. Thin sample — read with caution.

Now you have seen the rents — which one are you?

Renting, letting or selling in Bandar Dato' Onn, JB — come straight to me for any of the three.

So the official figure — a median household income of RM8,977 for Johor Bahru district — covers every household in the district, including the large share working entirely on the Malaysian side: one person's Singapore salary is close to the median for a whole household across the district. Bandar Dato' Onn is about 24 minutes by car to the JB CIQ (in the traffic when queried at midday on 21 October). Almost every residential listing this round was landed, mostly two-storey terraces.

• Housing is almost all landed; the two-storey 3 – 4 bed terrace is the most common rental.
• The township is divided into numbered Perjiranan; many listings were in Perjiranan 8, 13 and 14.
• The Jalan Perjiranan area has many shophouses and plenty of shop listings.
• The crossing used is the Causeway (JB CIQ).

Whether this is a Chinese-majority or a Malay-majority area is not stated here. The statistics department publishes ethnic breakdowns by district, but only down to "Johor Bahru district" — not to Bandar Dato' Onn. Applying a district-wide ratio to a single neighbourhood would be wrong, so this is left blank until sub-district data can be found.

Everything above is public. What actually decides it — what is vacant now, what it really signs at, what yours would sell for today — is not public. Ask me.

Due in the next version: Move the rents onto transacted data from the National Property Information Centre (NAPIC/JPPH) rather than asking prices alone; add the ethnic breakdown once sub-district data can be found; confirm the local authority and mukim; split condos by bathroom count listing by listing. Asking rents move, so the figures on this page are re-checked every six months.
