What this data can and can’t tell you
- Prices. The median of the prices per m² of houses and apartments sold in Pérouges over three years, from the public file of property sales (DVF). Half sold for more, half for less. We show a median only where 30 or more homes sold, and never an individual sale: the decree that publishes DVF forbids it.
- Rents. The Housing Ministry predicts a rent per m² for every commune from online listings, charges included. It is an estimate of asking rents, not of rents tenants actually pay.
- Income. The median annual income per consumption unit: disposable income after taxes and benefits, divided by the household’s consumption units. It is not a household’s income. We use the intercommunality’s, the area people live and work across; the four island communes with no intercommunality use their own.
- Property tax. A rate, shown and never graded: what owners pay depends on each home’s cadastral rental value, which isn’t published.
