How to read this page
A gap does not mean that adding the amenity would raise the rate by that much: homes with a dishwasher may also be larger or better located, and the data cannot separate these effects. The series measures what goes together in the current stock. An amenity is detected in the list published by the host, by keyword search in English (for instance “dishwasher”); an amenity that exists but is not listed counts as absent.
