Rent by the numbers

Median MAR by bedroom, over time

Median allowed rent as of each month, reconstructed from the change log. 3+ BR is omitted pending an anomaly investigation (issue #11).

Current median by bedroom count

New-tenancy rents over time

New-tenancy rents each month

One dot per month: height is the median rent set at that month's new tenancies, area is how many there were (same GA-clean resets as above, unsmoothed). Small dot, thin month — trust it less. Click a bedroom type to add or remove it.

What a new tenancy goes for, by bedroom

Each bar is a $250 bin, scaled to that type's own total; the hollow dot is the median.

Rent over time, by move-in year

Each line is one year's new tenants, followed through time: every point is the median rent that cohort paid in a given year, in constant dollars (the chip switches to nominal). Purple lines are the oldest cohorts, teal the newest. Real rent drifts down the longer a cohort stays put — rent control shields sitting tenants from market increases, but a market dip only reaches you if you move. A unit that turns over jumps to a newer cohort. Cohort-years under 100 units are hidden; the heatmap below has every count.

Units behind each cohort, year by year

How many units sit behind each median above. A low count means noise — or bogus data. Rows fade to the right as a cohort's tenancies end, and columns before 2023 cover only units with portal-backfilled history.

MAR vs Tenancy Start Date

Each line tracks the maximum rent of a tenancy today against the month it began, smoothed over a ~15-month window. Click a bedroom type to show or hide it.
