Medians are the middle sold price of the year's recorded sales. The average (mean) can sit well above the median when a few expensive homes change hands.
Typical price is the count-weighted median over the last three recorded years. Only districts with at least 30 sales in that window are ranked, which keeps low-volume business postcodes out of these tables.
