About this index
The Winfred Quek HDB Rental Yield Index measures gross rental yield, annual rent divided by resale price, for every Singapore HDB town with sufficient transaction volume, ranked from highest to lowest. It is built directly from official data.gov.sg transaction data, not estimates or survey responses, and is intended as a starting reference point for comparing towns, not a substitute for unit level due diligence.
Data source: data.gov.sg HDB resale flat prices and rental contracts (see citation below). Update cadence: quarterly, as new resale and rental transaction data becomes available.

Methodology
Gross rental yield = (median monthly rent x 12) / median resale price, computed per HDB town over the trailing ~12 months of transactions. Median resale price and median monthly rent are each computed independently across all flat types transacted in that town in the window (not matched unit for unit), so this is a town level approximation, not a same unit yield. Gross yield excludes property tax, MCST/conservancy charges, maintenance, agent commission, and vacancy periods, actual net yield is materially lower.
Minimum sample size: 20 transactions on each side (resale and rental) per town, over the window shown below. Towns below this threshold are excluded from the ranking rather than shown with an unreliable figure.
