About the data

Where these figures come from

  • Sales and rents: URA's records. Floors are shown as 5-storey ranges; unit numbers are never shown.
  • Medians leave out sales of more than one unit in a single transaction.
  • Project facts are from PLB's project records. Where they give no TOP year, the completion year in the sale records is used.
  • The Atlas score and the gross rental yield are PLB's estimates.
