“Note that there is no standard formula to calculate property price indices. Our formulas differs from Case-Shiller Index, UK Housing Price Index, etc.
Price to Income Ratio is the basic measure for apartment purchase affordability (lower is better).

Our formula assumes and uses:
- net disposable family income, as defined as 1.5 * the average net salary (50% is assumed percentage of women in the workforce) - median apartment size is 90 square meters price per square meter (the formula uses) is the average price of square meter in the city center and outside of the city center
