    Methodology

    Figures are calculated directly from the advertised Vancouver rental listings in Rent Reveal's dataset for Vancouver and the surrounding region. Median and average rents, ranges and square footage come from the listings themselves — nothing is modelled or forecast. Categories with fewer than five comparable listings are not published.

    These numbers are informational estimates of market conditions, not financial, legal or tenancy advice. Full detail on the Rent Reveal methodology page.
