How to read this map
The map shows the median annual rent on studio contracts registered this year, new and renewed. Whole-building leases are left out. These tables list areas with at least 30 contracts.
DLD rental records have no usable bedroom field, so a flat's type is estimated from its size. Villas are recorded as villas.
