Medians per area; each column's bar runs from that column's cheapest area to its priciest, so a full bar is the most expensive area for that size and a short one the cheapest. Lengths rank within a column, not across columns; the rupee median above each bar is the actual number. Listings counts flats plus shared rooms; the Room column is the median for a room in a shared flat, from flatmate listings. Every priced listing counts, even single samples; “–” means no priced listings for that size. Area names link to live listings.
