How to read this map
Each area is ranked across Dubai on gross yield (50% of the score), rent change this year (30%) and contract renewals (20%). A score of 90 means the area ranks well above most others on those three measures, not a 90% return.
It is a relative ranking of this year's data, not a forecast. Yield is before service charges, vacancy and other costs.
