How this list is made
- Source: average monthly rent of free-sector homes (BBGA indicator WHUURVRIJ_GEM), from the Wonen in Amsterdam survey, most recent published year (2025).
- Free sector means a rent above the social-rent limit: the rent is not regulated and no housing allowance applies.
- Districts with fewer than 500 residents are left out, and the survey reports no figure where fewer than 50 households answered.
- The survey runs every two years; this table refreshes automatically when a new round is published.
