What it means for an investor: transaction volume is mid-sized; comparable sales in the same neighbourhood should be researched for the target property type. The data show no prices.
Limitation: Housing-sales data count title-deed transactions and contain no price, m² or rent information. The growth rate covers a single year. The food-business count is registered businesses subject to inspection and gives only a rough signal of competitive density. No neighbourhood-level official data are used here.
