Demand Segments

Segments are cut at the quartiles of the current scope: below EUR 500, between EUR 500 and EUR 950, and above EUR 950. They describe stated intent, not verified income.

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.
Price Sensitive
14.9%

Stated budget below the lower quartile of the scope.

Segments are defined by stated budget only. They are a lens on the same population, not distinct customer groups, and no causal reading should be attached to differences between them.
