Small sample — not ranked
These neighborhoods are published separately because they carry far fewer analysed properties than most: 46 or under, against a median of 379 across the rest. The figure is what that sample gives, and with so few properties a single listing can move it a long way. We do not rank them against those above, nor use them to say which is the most expensive or the most affordable.

|---|---|---|
| Santana | $2,626 | 29 |
| Tatuapé | $2,378 | 31 |
| Bom Retiro | $1,613 | 19 |
| Mooca | $1,479 | 15 |
| Água Rasa | $1,425 | 29 |
| Ipiranga | $1,285 | 28 |
| Brás | $1,137 | 46 |
| Cursino | $1,078 | 17 |

Sources & methodology
Public short-term-rental data (Airbnb and similar platforms), computed over a broad sample of entire homes active during the month — not a full census of the market. Monthly revenue is an estimate of gross per-listing income (median), before Airbnb fees, cleaning, taxes and other host costs; it is not an income promise for any specific unit. Immutable monthly series.
