LiveInPH Cebu Rent Index — asking rent by neighborhood × unit type

A named index of Cebu asking-rent ranges by neighborhood and unit type. This release is an honest editorial baseline: low and high are sourced ranges, the median is the range midpoint (not an observed median), and the sample size n is published as null until a measured listing sample exists — p25/p75 are deliberately not fabricated from a range.

Cebu asking rents span ₱3,500–₱120,000/month across 21 neighborhood × unit-type segments — sourced editorial baseline (editorial-baseline); sample size not yet measured.

Provenance & limitations

Source. LiveInPH editorial baseline (Cebu cost-of-living guide), early 2026. Method. Editorial baseline: sourced low/high ranges from the LiveInPH cost-of-living research, cross-checked against active Lamudi/Dot Property/Rentpad listings. median = midpoint of the range. n = null until a real listing sample is collected.

Known limitations — published as a feature, not a footnote:

  • Asking rent, not transacted rent.
  • Editorial baseline derived from sourced ranges, not yet a measured listing panel — n is null until first listing sample.
  • Single baseline period (2026-05); no change-over-time until ≥2 quarters.
  • Talisay omitted: standard gives only a 'starting ₱11,000' floor, no sourced upper bound — not fabricated.
  • IT Park 2br spans ₱40k–120k: the upper tail is luxury (Bamboo Routes/Lamudi); median is the range midpoint, not an observed central figure.
  • No sourced 3br condo figure exists for IT Park, Lahug, or Talamban; those tier×size cells are intentionally absent rather than back-filled.

Full source hierarchy, the per-figure dating rule, and the no-fabrication discipline that governs the longitudinal series: /methodology.
