Definitions
Median – when a series of numbers
are arranged by order of magnitude the
median represents the middle value.
Interquartile range – difference
between lower quartile and upper
quartile, representing the middle 50 per
cent of monthly rent values.
Maps
The maps on the following pages show
the median monthly rents for the North
East for each bedroom category.
The ranges for the maps are produced
using ‘natural breaks’; a method that
separates values into groups which are
naturally present in the data. Similar
values are gathered together in such a
way that the differences between
groups are maximised.
The rents contained within each group
are greater than or equal to the lower
bound and strictly less than the upper
bound. For example, a group with a
range of £400 to £450 would contain
rents greater than or equal to £400 and
strictly less than £450.
Readers should take care as some
categories have small sample sizes.
The full tables can be found on the
GOV.UK page for the release.
