How we count

Rents are medians of today's active asking prices (a flat listed twice counts once), with the number of listings behind each. A median is shown only from 10 listings per district.

Minutes are ZET tram or bus travel time with walking, for weekday departures between 7 and 9 am (ZET timetable, 28 Sept 2026 – 31 Dec 2026).

Residents, renting households and empty dwellings are from the 2021 Census (as of 31 August 2021); kindergartens, schools, pharmacies and parks from City of Zagreb open data and OpenStreetMap, per 10,000 residents because a bigger district has more of everything.
