Median Gross Rent

Median gross rent divides the gross rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median gross rent and one-half above the median. Median gross rent is computed on the basis of a standard distribution. (See the "Standard Distributions" section in Appendix A.) Median gross rent is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. (For more information on medians, see "Derived Measures.")
