ihow this figure was read
- n=1
- This rests on 1 unit. URA prints no median under 3 contracts: its own disclosure floor, read from its panel. Read it as one landlord's number rather than a market.
- unchanged since Jan 2026 · 197 days
- This asking price was posted 2026-01-17 and had stood 197 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 764 sqft
- The unit behind this figure is 764 sqft (71 sqm). It is the portal's 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.

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.
singstat.ghs2025.C020123 · subzone grain
NOT A MEASUREMENT: residents by dwelling (C020125) ÷ the NATIONAL average household size for that dwelling type (17863, 2025), CALIBRATED by the planning area's own published/derived household ratio (C020141) where the area publishes one. The divide alone ran ~9% low with a measured per-area spread; the calibration applies the reconciliation instead of merely reporting it.
ghs2025.residents-div-hhsize · subzone grain
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 BUKIT TIMAH with premises, taps or residents published at the corner shows this same figure.

listed 391 days before this snapshot (posted 2025-07-08), older than one URA quarter (91 days, the gap between URA's two most recent quarter-ends), and this corner holds a fresher shopfront row: an ask posted 2026-01-17, 194 days after this ask was posted. A landlord's asking price that has stood unmoved for longer than the market's own reporting cycle is not this quarter's market, and it yields to the fresher row, which is itself 197 days old on this snapshot, so what leads is the fresher of two rows older than a quarter, not this quarter's market either

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

URA PMI district median at DISTRICT grain, not measured at this corner. ALL of this corner's geocoded postals sit in District 11. The stratum is Level 1 (street level), declared here because URA stamps no all-levels, all-bands district median: the 2 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.

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 Adam Road Food Centre, 69m 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.

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.
