Asking rent for an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment on a long-term lease, from listings inside the town's area.

How rent is measured

Asking rent for an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment on a long-term lease, from listings inside the town's area. Asking rents for a two-bedroom apartment from property listing sites, measured the same way in every country: unfurnished only; leases of 12 months or more, with holiday, seasonal and month-to-month lets left out; rent without utilities, as listed; and only listings inside the town's own area — the same area every other local figure uses — so a listing with no address or map point is left out. The figure is the 10th–75th percentile range of the listings kept, with their median beside it, from at least 30 listings; with 10 to 29 the range is widened by an estimate of its own sampling noise and the count is shown; with fewer than 10 the town carries no figure. Where a site has no furnished or lease-length field, a listing is dropped only when its own text says it is furnished, a short let or for sale. Each figure names its site, its listing count and its local currency, converted when the page is shown. Refreshed every 6 months, and marked out of date after that. Three caveats: asking rents run above agreed rents, the area is the town's area rather than its center, and the sample is one site.

These are straight lines, not routes. Flight distances are measured airport to airport across the Earth's surface, from MEX to each destination's main airport. The drive to MEX is the exception: that one is a measured road route.

Estimated flying time is our own arithmetic, not a timetable: the straight-line distance flown at 780 km/h, plus 45 minutes for taxi, climb and descent, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. A real flight is longer than a straight line, and whether a nonstop exists at all changes by season and airline — check current schedules.

The 108 destinations above are a chosen list, not every city — the capital and the largest cities of each country we publish for, by population (up to ten for the United States, five for Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, three elsewhere). Two cities served by the same airport appear once. A city that is not on the list is not unusually far; it is simply not on the list.
