Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 4.1% in 2017, is well off that peak.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
