What each column is made of, so you can judge it before quoting it.
Official statistics
- Remittances: Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador, family remittances by department, municipality and district in US$ millions, summed over the last 12 closed months (2025-09 to 2026-08) and compared with the previous 12.
- Municipalities and districts follow the 2024 territorial reorganisation: 44 municipalities made of 262 districts, the former municipalities.
- Part of national remittances is not assigned to any department (5.2% of the total); shares use the national total as denominator.
REAL NOW market metrics
- Sale: median asking price per m² of apartments and houses for sale seen in the last 30 days in the aggregated public offer, with the same outlier bounds as Analytics. List prices, not closed sales.
- Confidence: solid = 30 or more listings, preliminary = 15 to 29; below 15 nothing is published.
- Rent and gross yield: REAL NOW rent benchmarks, median monthly rent of homes; gross yield = rent × 12 ÷ sale price of the same cell, published only between 3 and 12 percent. Available by province or department and by municipality or canton.
- Listings are placed in regions using official boundary names; a label that cannot be placed without ambiguity counts only at the levels it does resolve.
