Cross Analysis

Where the demand dimensions meet. All figures are associations within the same dataset — none of them establish cause.

What the data says

Generated from the records currently in scope — observation, why it matters, and the decision it points to. Nothing here is written in advance; every figure recomputes on the next upload.

Who the demand is

Calculatedn = 2,262
Observation
Of 2,262 enquiries with a budget, 24% are premium (median EUR 1,148), 61% core (median EUR 700) and 15% price sensitive (median EUR 400). Premium enquiries stay 0.5 months shorter than price-sensitive ones (5.9 against 6.5 months). Premium demand concentrates in Munich.
Interpretation
The premium segment pays EUR 448 more per month than core demand. It is a 24% slice, which caps how much of the scheme can be built against it.
Investment implication
Size the premium product to roughly 24% of beds, weighted to Munich, and hold the remainder at the core median of EUR 700. Pricing the whole scheme at the premium median would leave 76% of stated demand unaddressed.

Budget level and spread

Calculatedn = 2,262
Observation
2,262 enquiries state a budget. The median is EUR 700 per month, the middle 50% run from EUR 500 to EUR 950 (a spread of 64% of the median), and the top 10% start at EUR 1,200.
Interpretation
The middle half spans EUR 450, so this is not one homogeneous demand pool but at least two: a price-led group below EUR 500 and a group willing to pay above EUR 950. A single rent point serves one of them and taxes the other.
Investment implication
Price the standard product at or just below EUR 700, where 56% of stated budgets still qualify, and take the upper band with a distinct premium unit type instead of a blanket uplift.

Budget by intended stay length

Across 2,224 leads the correlation between stay length and stated budget is r = -0.08 (r runs from -1 to +1; values near 0 mean no relationship).
