About this comparison
Each apartment’s median daily asking rent is compared across the two periods. Percentage changes are combined with equal weight using a geometric mean. The sample covers 18 buildings; apartments must appear in both periods. Lease lengths were unreported for 273 apartments, and fees and concessions are not adjusted. This measures comparable advertised listings, not the entire rental market.
How many apartments were available during September?
We observed an average of 694.5 available apartments per day across the same 38 buildings. Daily counts ranged from 665 to 746.
Bars start at zero. This measures available listings, not signed leases or the vacancy rate.

How are these monthly rent figures calculated?
We use the full calendar month in New York time. For each apartment, we take the median of its valid daily asking rents, then calculate the median across apartments. Availability is the average of daily counts.

Coverage and calculation details
- Only buildings with a qualifying source check at every daily cutoff are included. Each check must be complete, unfiltered, and no more than 48 hours old. Cutoffs are midnight after each day.
- 38 buildings qualified; 98 other buildings with qualifying checks on some days did not meet the full-month coverage rule. This restricts the geographic scope of the results.
- Daily states are reconstructed from successful scheduled source observations, carrying unchanged states forward through qualifying checks. Missing coverage is excluded, never treated as zero availability.
- Rent statistics require positive prices and a consistent supported bedroom count within the month. Availability also includes unpriced apartments. Lease terms may vary or be unknown; these are advertised rents, not controlled lease-price estimates.
- Each apartment has equal weight in its bedroom group. The middle 50% is the 25th–75th percentile of apartment-level monthly medians. This is a descriptive sample, not a market-wide rent index.
- The report was reconstructed and published after the month ended. Source data may be revised; published evidence is preserved.
