Sure. But that’s a 1/100 find. The average and median rent for 1 bedrooms in Boston is significantly above that.

Exactly this. I pay $1,500 per month for a spacious 1-bed, 1-bath in Quincy right on the border of Dorchester.

Not technically Boston, but I realize that my probability of finding another well-lit, 1-bed, 1-bath apartment with a big kitchen in this area for $1,500 is just absolutely not going to happen. Landlord hasn't raised my rent since I moved in a few years ago, so I consider myself just super, super lucky.

The average and median being above that doesn't tell us about the availability of apartments below those figures

But, it does? That’s the whole point of it? The median literally tells you that half of the apartments are more expensive and half are cheaper.
