From the UK corpus to one Bristol reading

The index is a narrow, reproducible cut from a much larger research warehouse. Corpus scale is disclosed separately from the local sample so large row counts cannot be mistaken for Bristol supply.

Warehouse coverage spans 4 June to 15 August 2026. Profile counts describe the UK discovery corpus, not active supply in this market; every published index applies its own geography, freshness, duplicate and minimum-sample rules. The latest Bristol reading was observed on 6 November 2026. Earlier monthly readings and their downloads remain available in the series.

Methodology and publication notes

Upgraded Intelligence records date by date availability and pricing for active short let listings. The index takes the latest valid observation for each listing and calculates the unavailable share from the observation date through day 30 inclusive, a 31-date window.

Fixed geography

Every release uses a radius of ten kilometres around central Bristol.

Comparable calculation

Each property contributes its latest valid availability observation within five days of the reading date. Adverts within 150 metres are checked for duplication before the daily shares are averaged.

Availability boundary

Unavailable nights may be booked, owner blocked or otherwise restricted. They are not confirmed occupancy.

Price publication gate

Nightly rates describe professionally priced portfolios only. At least five priced homes and twenty priced dates are required. Conflicting duplicate prices can still prevent publication when those numerical thresholds pass.

Minimum sample threshold

Every published date must contain at least ten valid properties. November 2026 cleared all 31 primary dates and all 91 supporting dates.
