Micro-unit stress in Den Haag

Compare the index as a signal of how much the local market leans on very small units as an affordability release valve. Movement matters more than a single reading: a sustained rise points to stronger pressure on space, while a lower level suggests less dependence on size reduction. Avoid reading it as a standalone affordability score.
