What the data says

Jumeirah Village Circle runs on the real Dubai Land Department feeds, pulled from the open-data gateway and committed with the code. The other five communities are generated into the same columns, carrying the same real DLD area ids, so the ingestion job cannot tell them apart — every benchmark below says which it was built from. DLD publishes no bedroom count for a flat, so bedrooms are inferred from floor area by bands calibrated against the transactions that do carry one; they reproduce DLD’s own label 87.9% of the time, and every inferred row is marked as inferred. In Jumeirah Village Circle that is 95% of the contracts behind the studio benchmark — the medians are the best number available, and they are not DLD’s own count.
