Composite of leverage trend, transaction velocity, asking-vs-realized wedge, sentiment proxy, and off-plan share. Higher = more vulnerable to a downturn. Not a buy/sell signal — context only.
Green coverage
High green coverageCounts OpenStreetMap-tagged green features (parks, gardens, woods, grass, pitches) within a 2.2km walking radius of the community centroid. Weighted score privileges named parks + established woods over generic grass strips. v2 will add ESA WorldCover 10m satellite NDVI for actual % canopy coverage — captures everything green including private gardens, road verges, and golf courses.
Flood exposure
Flooding reported (2024)April 2024: 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
