- A district is the area name Agoda gives a place (the first part of its address line), not an official boundary; names are printed as Agoda writes them, without a leading district number.
- A night counts for a district when at least 5 of its places showed a price.
- Every district is compared on the same 43 nights, the ones on which all of them counted: districts join in order of nights counted, and one that would leave fewer than 42 shared nights is left out rather than compared on other nights. A district's figure is the median of its nightly medians over those nights, and the middle half is the median of the nightly 25th and 75th percentiles.
- Places: every place in the district priced on those nights. Guest score: the median Agoda review score (out of 10) of those places, places scored in brackets. 4–5★: the share of the places with a star rating that hold 4 stars or more.
A dash means fewer than 5 of the district's places carry a score or a star rating. Many-star hotels cluster in a few districts, so a district's median also says which kind of places stand there.
Cheapest district with a guest score of 8 or more
The cheapest district in Accra whose places hold a median guest score of 8 or more is Mallam: a median $50 a night, score 8.6 across 30 scored places.
| District | Median a night | Guest score | Places scored |

| Sakumono | $55 | 8.9 | 25 |
| Kpeshie | $63 | 8.5 | 39 |
| Madina | $78 | 8.7 | 97 |
| Osu | $117 | 8.8 | 20 |
| Labadi | $127 | 8.7 | 9 |
| Dzorwulu | $130 | 8.6 | 43 |
| North Ridge | $136 | 8.6 | 19 |
| Cantonments | $145 | 8.4 | 52 |
| Roman Ridge | $150 | 8.8 | 49 |
Guest scores are Agoda's review scores out of 10; a score says nothing about the price.
