Twins are the estates with the most similar blocks: in form, size, age, construction, energy certificate and plot (the cadastre's building vector). Place and price are not part of the match, so the price gap between twins shows what the location is worth.

How the estate is defined
An estate is a group of at least five neighbouring blocks with four or more flats from one period: no more than 90 metres apart, built no more than six years apart, and similar in build. The name comes from GURS's register of geographical names or from OpenStreetMap; it names a place, not an official boundary. Prices are medians of comparable flat sales from the property-market register (ETN), rents are filed lettings, and residents come from SURS's 100-metre grid. Data as of 2026-11-07.
