- •Thin transaction volume (slow price discovery)
Composite of leverage trend, transaction velocity, asking-vs-realized wedge, market-temperature proxy, and off-plan share. Exact scores require at least 4 of 5 inputs; lower coverage is shown as a tier only. Higher = more vulnerable to a downturn. Not a buy/sell signal — context only.
Mapped greenery
Exceptional mapped greeneryCounts OpenStreetMap-tagged green features (parks, gardens, woods, grass and pitches) within a 2.2km straight-line search radius of the community centroid. The tier is relative to other Dubai communities and does not claim walkability or shade. Satellite vegetation is the ESA WorldCover 2021 share at 10m resolution when available.
Flood exposure
Flooding reported (2024)April 2024: Villa flooding and waterlogged roads reported.
A conservative, news-derived read of communities reported flooded in the April 2024 event — indicative only, not an engineering, drainage or insurance assessment. Elevation is shown as context, not used to score risk (Dubai is flat; drainage drives flooding). Communities without a rating were simply not reported — that is not evidence of safety. Methodology
