Principal findings
What the evidence shows
Rate dispersion expands with size.
The four-bedroom middle-half range spans £150 to £400, much wider than the studio range of £60 to £73.
The largest cohort is structurally different.
The 5+ bedroom median is £414, more than six times the studio median. Its sample is only twenty-one, so it should not be blended into a typical small-property expectation.
Higher rate does not imply a fuller calendar.
Four-bedroom properties have a £201 median but the lowest 90-day unavailable share at 31%. Price and calendar pressure are reported as separate observed dimensions.

Method
How this output was produced
- Select listings within ten kilometres of central Bristol with a qualifying latest calendar and property-size classification.
- Calculate cohort medians and 25th and 75th percentiles from observed advertised nightly prices.
- Measure the next-90-night unavailable share separately for the same size cohort.
- Suppress any size cohort containing fewer than ten listings.
Interpretation boundary
What this release cannot prove
- Advertised nightly price can exclude fees and does not equal achieved average daily rate.
- Party size, stay length and date can change the price presented to a shopper.
- The two largest cohorts each contain twenty-one listings and carry more sampling uncertainty.
