How we calculate these figures
Service charges: approved owners association budgets for 2026 and the previous year; per property group and usage the sum of all cost categories per sq ft, excluding income, negative adjustment lines and charges billed per parking bay, storage unit or meter; property groups whose budget sums to zero are left out. Then the median per usage (parking usage excluded); categories for residential usage. By area: residential property groups whose project lies in a single area of the project register; groups without a project or spanning several areas count only in the emirate figures, master community names are never shown. Units: registered units by creation date. Rents: rent contracts by start date, one count per contract; median annual rent of single residential flats. Population: annual estimates by community. Licences: activities added to mainland trade licences for property and facilities management. Ejari contracts are often registered after they start, renewals in particular up to about two months later. For a month that ended less than two months before the data date, renewals and figures over all leases (totals, median rents) are therefore provisional: they are marked as such and not compared; new leases, which are registered within days, are compared as usual. Housing units: number of housing units by type as published by the Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment. (Data: Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment open data (housing units).) Newly registered buildings: buildings entered in the Dubai Land Department register, counted by registration date and area. (Data: Dubai Land Department open data (buildings).) Land plots: plots in the Dubai Land Department land register by land use at the date of the register; freehold share = plots marked as freehold. (Data: Dubai Land Department open data (land register).) Metro trips: average daily passenger trips over all Dubai Metro stations in each month (for each station the average of its reported values, then summed over the stations), so that months with fewer reported days stay comparable. (Data: Roads and Transport Authority open data (metro trips by station).) Private schools: schools in the register of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority by location, with the number of students they report; areas with at least 3 schools. (Data: Knowledge and Human Development Authority open data (private schools).) Housing land grants: applications and approvals of the MRHE housing programme (Mohammed Bin Rashid housing) per month, from counts only (no personal data is stored); months with fewer than 5 cases of a service are not published by the import. (Data: MRHE open data (housing land grants).) Move-ins: new customer accounts of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority by move-in date and community, from counts only (no personal data is stored); communities with fewer than 5 move-ins in a month are not published by the import. (Data: DEWA open data (customer master data, counts).) Every figure is an aggregate of at least 3 records; smaller groups are shown as – or left out. Percentage changes of counts need at least 30 records in the comparison period; with fewer, the entry is marked “new” (new or little activity, no meaningful % change), and changes above +300% are shown as “>+300%”. Changes of prices, rents and charges (medians) need at least 30 records on each side; with fewer in the comparison period, they are also marked “new”. No company, person or project names are published.
Community names (for example Jumeirah Village Circle) are Zolia's own mapping of Dubai Land Department districts to the master project with the most sales over the last 24 months; the official district name is shown below each one. Districts without one clear community keep their official name.
