Each week, our system sifts through millions of listing observations and other pockets of market information to deliver the most comprehensive picture of rental housing available.

This is a metric that we try not to overthink. Simply, we take each unique listing observation within a geographic boundary and calculate a simple average. Of course, we're careful to filter for duplicates and other listings that aren't reflective of the market.
