        <summary>How we calculate this</summary>
        <p>A listing counts as a Sept 1 listing if it has a lease start date of September 1, 2026 (or is flagged as a fall start). Active listings only — we exclude drafts, admin-removed, and rents outside $500–$20,000. Neighborhoods with fewer than 5 Sept 1 listings are suppressed.</p>
