What stands out
What the 24 July snapshot shows
The observed unavailable share varied by forty percentage points across the published area samples. The comparison is descriptive and does not establish why calendars differed.
unavailable, next 90 nights
unavailable, next 90 nights
The 246 operator direct calendars showed 64% of the next 90 nights unavailable, compared with 43% across 474 wider marketplace calendars. This is an association, not proof that management caused the difference. The cohorts can differ in channel mix, property mix, minimum stays and owner blocking.
How we built this
Upgraded Intelligence records observed calendar availability for Bristol short let listings. This report aggregates 720 listings within 10 kilometres of the city centre and uses the latest calendar state available for each listing and target night on 24 July 2026.
- Unavailable share means a night the observed listing calendar did not offer. It can reflect a booking, an owner block or another restriction. It is not confirmed occupancy or realised revenue.
- One listing, one area. Every listing is assigned to its nearest of 12 named area centres and counted once. An area's sample only includes listings within 1.6km of its centre; the citywide row covers everything within 10km.
- Reliability: areas with fewer than 10 tracked listings are suppressed rather than reported, and a listing needs at least 30 tracked nights in the window to count at all.
- Availability, not rates. This report compares the unavailable share across area samples. Nightly rates and revenue by property size are published at city level in Report 01, and area rates will only be published when the sample clears the same reliability bar.
