Figures are not seasonally adjusted (NSA). Geo coverage is the top 12 cities of China, including four province-level municipalities and eight prefecture-level cities (see related article). The series start as early as January 1997.
The time series are locational indexes, i.e., relative to a separate reference location. The location is Beijing, and the particular base series and base period vary by indicator, as follows. See the background in Mnemonic 411 for details.
- Resale index: Resale index, December 2004
- Rental index: Rental index, December 2005
- Other five indexes: Residential building index, December 2000
The series reside in the historical catalog (China » Real Estate » China Index Academy » Real estate index) and include, for example:
- HPIIACPSUM.ICHN_BE = Composite index, (Index ICHN_BE Dec2000=1000) - for Beijing
- HPIIARSLUM.ICHN_GUA = Resale index, (Index ICHN_BE Dec2004=1000) - for Guangzhou
- HPIIARESUM.ICHN_CH = Residential rental index, (Index ICHN_BE Dec2005=1000) - for Chongqing
- HPIIAHDNUM.ICHN_SHE = [DISCONTINUED] Hedonic index, (Index ICHN_BE Dec2000=1000) - for Shenzhen
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
