surface written 2026-10-12. Every figure on this page is read from that one file

Bayfront Subzone: every published receipt

How to read a row: the bold figure is the middle of its range and the figures either side are the range’s ends; “carried” means aggregated up from finer measurements (streets, postals, doors) into this corner, never a direct reading at it. The n is the count behind the figure: contracts, awards, units or taps, by instrument. An absent row carries a code and a side, never an instrument or a date, because nothing was measured. Every rent row was measured per square metre a month by its publisher (URA’s street medians, HDB’s awards over their printed floor area, the portals’ asks) and is printed here per square foot, divided once by this record’s own bridge of 10.76 sqft per sqm.

Who is here
Resident population
withheld at source

suppressed_at_source: withheld or not published at source. GHS 2025 printed a dash for this cell — small counts are withheld to prevent identification of individuals, and suppression is not a population of zero. The dash is denser in the age x sex strata than in the pooled total, which is what suppression of small cells looks like and is itself information

Resident households
withheld at source

suppressed_at_source: withheld or not published at source. GHS publishes no usable dwelling mix for this subzone — SingStat printed a dash, which its own footnotes define as nil OR negligible OR suppressed — three different worlds one glyph cannot distinguish, so this is recorded as the publisher withholding, never as zero. The household count here is the same divide as the spend weights, and with no residents-by-dwelling there is nothing to divide

Daytime workers by place of work (planning area) as of 2025-06-30
332,600 persons

GHS 2025: employed RESIDENTS by workplace planning area. Foreign-worker commuters are outside the frame entirely, so this is a FLOOR on true daytime workers; no-fixed-location (201,500) and work-from-home (82,200) sit in categories, not areas. Planning-area grain: the table publishes nothing finer, so every subzone in DOWNTOWN CORE with premises, taps or residents published at the corner shows this same figure.

no class word rides this row's facet, so nothing says it is shop space. The shop-rent slot is led only by a row whose publisher's own facet SAYS shopfront. Written the other way round, a portal adding a new type word would leak straight into it, which is how an "Model: Food And Beverage" tag on a warehouse listing got there

the publisher's own facet types this row "office", which is not shop space. Measured over every per-sqm rent in this artifact, the median of the 804 shopfront rows sits at 1.5x the median of the 171 rows typed "office". Two markets, and this one is not the shop market. The figure is real for what it measures and it is not what a shop costs here

URA PMI district median at DISTRICT grain, not measured at this corner. ALL of this corner's geocoded postals sit in District 01. The stratum is Level 1 (street level), declared here because URA stamps no all-levels, all-bands district median: the 4 size bands pool UNWEIGHTED: lo the lowest of the bands' lows, hi the highest of their highs, mid the median of band medians, because URA publishes no contract counts to weight with; n=3 is its disclosure floor, not a sample size.

ENTRIES AND EXITS SUMMED on an average weekday, all day. Not boardings: a reader who takes it for boardings is out by roughly half. Each station carries ITS OWN measured weekday taps and its own measured distance to this corner. Nothing is re-allocated and no share is invented, so a station that serves several corners appears on several cards. Distance is straight-line from this corner to the station's NEAREST PUBLISHED EXIT (LTA, 613 exit points), not to a representative address, and not a walking route: the real walk is longer wherever a road, canal or rail line stands in the way, and an underground link reads as its street doorway. Every station within 400m is listed, busiest first. The radius is the only cut. Where an interchange spans two codes the taps are summed and every code is named.

Market Street Hawker Centre53Existing (replacement)584m

NEA lists NO hawker centre in this corner. Its registry is a census of 129 centres, each carrying its own point, and every one of them was placed (none fell outside a subzone), so this is a measured zero rather than a corner nobody looked at. The nearest is Market Street Hawker Centre, 584m from this corner's edge, and it is named for the same reason the nearest station is: a centre just over the boundary is not a centre that does not exist, and a straight "none here" would be a binary answer to a continuous question. Straight-line to its published point, not a walking route, and no claim is made that it sits in this corner.
