Know what’s behind the numbers.
Asking rents and in-place rents tell different stories. We keep them separate and show rents where they’re known. Coverage varies by source.
Sources & coverage
Units are identified by combining public parcel records, the city’s rent stabilization data, affordable-housing inventories, and rental listings. Not every unit has a known rent; each tool shows how many units carry asking or in-place rent data for the view you’re looking at.
Data methodology
How we identify rental units, match records across sources, and classify rent regulation is written up in full. Read the methodology (PDF).
