San Francisco, one neighborhood at a time

Where these numbers come from

• Market data. San Francisco MLS, through the SFAR MarketStats service. Median sale price, median price per square foot, median days on market, closed sales, active listings and months supply are rolling six month figures for each Realtor subdistrict, current through August 2026. Rolling six months is the window MarketStats reports on, and it is short enough that a subdistrict with only a handful of sales a year still reflects this year rather than last. We refresh these figures about every six months, and the date above always says which pull you are looking at.
• District and subdistrict boundaries. Traced from the San Francisco Association of Realtors neighborhood map, the one with the ten districts and the 89 subdistricts. Every subdistrict is drawn as a single closed area that meets its neighbors with no gaps and no overlaps, and the whole set covers the city. Golden Gate Park, the Presidio and Lincoln Park are drawn the same way.
• Walk Score, Transit Score and Bike Score. Walk Score®, taken for the Walk Score area that covers each subdistrict. Where one published Walk Score area covers more than one subdistrict, the panel says which area the figures belong to.
• Microclimate. Average daily high, average daily low and elevation at the center of each subdistrict, from Open-Meteo's high resolution historical model, averaged over the 24 months from September 2024 through August 2026. San Francisco runs about seven degrees warmer on a summer afternoon in the Mission than it does out at Forest Hill, and this is the layer that shows it.
• Population. Walk Score neighborhood profiles, where published.
• The three open spaces. Golden Gate Park, the Presidio and Lincoln Park carry no sale figures, because nothing inside them changes hands. They do carry Walk, Transit and Bike Scores and a microclimate, measured at the middle of the park, and they name the Realtor districts whose blocks run up against them.

Medians in small subdistricts move a lot on a handful of sales, so the closed sales count is shown next to every median. Market figures are historical and are not a prediction of what any particular home will sell for. Golden Gate Park, the Presidio and Lincoln Park are drawn in gray on the layers that are about selling, because nothing inside them sells. They are shaded like everywhere else on the Walk Score, Transit Score and weather layers, and they open a card of their own. Team Howe at Compass. Compass is a licensed real estate broker.
