Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); the district is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. index, 2024 = 100 · The Central Bureau of Statistics' dwellings price index by district (60000–60500), transactions over two months, not adjusted for inflation; the city's district stands in for the city · district data · as of Jul 2026.
