Highest HDB gross rental yield by district
Jurong West tops this table at a 7.85% gross yield on 4-room flats, from 932 4-room lettings against 590 resales of the same type. 26 areas are ranked, on a single 12-month window to September 2026.
Gross yield: the median annual rent for one flat type, matched on floor-area band, divided by the median resale price for the same type. Every district here is ranked on the same flat type, the 4-room, because the gradient between flat types is wider than the gradient between districts. Rent is self-declared by the flat owner on the renting-out application and approved by HDB; it is not a registry price. Gross means before maintenance, tax, agent fees and vacancy.
Remaining lease is not held constant and it moves this figure: across the districts ranked here the reference flats run from 48 to 91 years of lease left. A shorter lease buys the same rent for less, so part of a high yield is the lease running down, not a better return. Each district’s own lease is in the last column.
