ihow this figure was read

n=3: This rests on 4 listings for 3 units: asking prices, not signed leases.
lowest–highest ask: 4 listings for 3 units, 3 agents. The ends are the lowest and highest ask, not quartiles: below the floor URA prints a quartile from
unchanged since Jul 2026 · 5 days: This asking price was posted 2026-07-29 and had stood 5 days when the listings were read. It is the landlord's own date, carried from the portal, and it is known for every listing behind this figure. An age measured on a minority of a pool is not that pool's age, so a row that cannot say is not given one.
units of 350–400 sqft: The units behind this figure run 350 sqft (33 sqm) to 400 sqft (37 sqm), median 350 sqft (33 sqm). The ends are the smallest and largest unit in the pool, not quartiles. It is the portals' own published floor area, the same denominator the per-sqm figure was divided by, and the number that decides which of URA's size bands this row is weighed against.

Ghim Moh: 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.

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

an anchor lease at 10-20x an ordinary shop rent; mapping it to minimart would wreck that stratum's range

awarded 2020-01-30: the 3-year tenancy HDB lets these units on ran out 2023-01-30, before this surface was published.

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.

No average is computed, because the top band is "$35,000 & Over" and has no upper value to average. Households with no employed person are outside the denominator, which is SingStat's own convention for income from work; their share is published beside it, because a retiree household is not a poor household, it is one this instrument does not see.
