Transaction Data: Sourced from Dubai Land Department. Transaction counts may be zero for areas with limited direct reporting, even where rental activity exists.

Anomaly Flagging: Values marked ⚠ are statistically unusual for the area and may reflect premium property mixes, data aggregation errors, or limited sample sizes.
