Small-Unit Share Trend in Purmerend

Read the trend as a measure of how the rental mix changes over time, not as a direct count of available homes. Higher values suggest a stronger tilt toward compact accommodation, while lower values point to a broader mix with more larger units. Small changes can still matter when they persist, especially if they reflect a lasting shift in what gets built, converted, or listed.

Figures come from the rental listings Luntero represents for the selected period. Sample sizes differ per location and month, so read short movements together with the underlying listing counts rather than as exact market wide changes.
