How to read this market

New York or Miami? Which Hotel Does the Search Result Describe?

A question about New York City’s most exclusive hotels and an appearance by Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club belong to the same combined New York / Miami record. The first names NYC; the second identifies a property in Surfside, Florida. Following those precise identities reveals what each observation describes—and why the shared market label cannot divide the results into separate city performances.

“Results combined across several locations cannot establish separate city rankings without evidence for each city.”
