How this is worked out
Each month and block figure is the median of HDB rental approvals for this flat type in this town over the trailing 12 months. The resale price beside it is the same window's median resale price for the same flat type in the same town. The gross yield sentence divides one median by the other -- a ratio of two medians, not a per-flat yield, and it says nothing about what any specific unit actually rents for against what it cost. For a per-block yield ranking from matched rent and price, see the town's rental yield page.
