How Singapore’s districts work
The 28 districts come from the old postal system, where the first two digits of a postal code (the postal sector) mapped to a district. Singapore moved to six-digit postal codes in 1995, but the district numbers stuck as the property market’s shorthand.
Districts are not the same as URA planning areas such as Bishan or Tampines, and they are not the same as the CCR, RCR and OCR market segments. Groupings on this page show the segment most of each district falls in; several districts straddle two. Read CCR, RCR and OCR explained for the detail.
Median rents are for Q3 2026 and come from URA’s published rental contract data.
