What the rent range shows
For 1 bedroom apartments, the 10th-to-90th-percentile spread is $1,790 to $2,120, a difference of $330. That range describes current asking prices, not signed lease rents, and the sample size shown beside each row applies only to that bedroom size.
The neighborhood has 14 observations across available bedroom sizes. Only bedroom groups with at least five observations are published; smaller groups are withheld because a handful of listings can produce a misleading median.
How to use this data
Compare an apartment's asking rent with the percentile range for the same bedroom count. A listing below the 30th percentile is inexpensive relative to this sample; one above the 70th percentile is at the higher end. Differences in condition, concessions, exact location, amenities, and listing age can still explain a large price gap.
