Honest about what this is
Rent prices can rise because demand is climbing, or because supply is shrinking — the two look identical from the rent axis alone. Don't read this as "people are moving in here." Read it as "asking rents went up here over the last few weeks, for reasons that include demand but also listing mix and seasonal churn."
How the math works
For each ZIP we take the median asking rent in the earliest week of our scrape window and the median in the most recent week, then report the percent change. ZIPs below a 5-building confidence floor are shown greyed out. Noisy enough to keep honest, slow enough to show real weekly market direction.
