What these numbers mean
Median gross rent includes contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities for renter-occupied units paying cash rent. It reflects existing tenants, not today’s advertised rents. Commute times cover workers age 16+ who do not work from home; work-from-home and transit shares cover all workers age 16+. Survey estimates have margins of error; small rank differences may not be statistically meaningful.
