- 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 49 nights, the ones on which all of them counted: districts join in order of nights counted, and one that would leave fewer than 43 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.
