What the figures show
The gaps do not all come from the same place. By rate, Ghent is the most expensive (€160 a night at the median) and Antwerp the least (€139). By nights booked, Brussels fills its calendar most (138 nights) and Antwerp least (84). Where two cities have similar rates, the revenue gap is mainly about the number of nights.
The share of active homes in the listed stock also differs: it reaches 74.2% in Ghent. A city can show many listings without all of them actually being rented.
