Cities with the Highest Rent per m²
Campaign Idea
Our team noticed the increasing media coverage of rising rent prices and decided to dig deeper to understand how much tenants truly pay for their living space. Rather than relying on monthly averages that ignore differences in property size and value, we focused on cost per square meter. This approach exposed dramatic affordability gaps among major global cities, offering a fresh, data-driven perspective that stands out to news outlets.
We tracked the rising media focus on surging rent prices and developed a specialized methodology to analyze affordability on a more granular level.
We went beyond standard monthly comparisons by analyzing rent costs per square meter.
We exposed significant affordability gaps worldwide, leading to widespread media coverage.
