Grouping by unique values inside a JSONB array - postgresql

Question

Consider the following table structure:
CREATE TABLE residences (id int, price int, categories jsonb);
INSERT INTO residences VALUES
(1, 3, '["monkeys", "hamsters", "foxes"]'),
(2, 5, '["monkeys", "hamsters", "foxes", "foxes"]'),
(3, 7, '[]'),
(4, 11, '["turtles"]');
SELECT * FROM residences;
id | price | categories
----+-------+-------------------------------------------
1 | 3 | ["monkeys", "hamsters", "foxes"]
2 | 5 | ["monkeys", "hamsters", "foxes", "foxes"]
3 | 7 | []
4 | 11 | ["turtles"]
Now I would like to know how many residences there are for each category, as well as their sum of prices. The only way I found was to do this was using a sub-query:
SELECT category, SUM(price), COUNT(*) AS residences_no
FROM
residences a,
(
SELECT DISTINCT(jsonb_array_elements(categories)) AS category
FROM residences
) b
WHERE a.categories #> category
GROUP BY category
ORDER BY category;
category | sum | residences_no
------------+-----+---------------
"foxes" | 8 | 2
"hamsters" | 8 | 2
"monkeys" | 8 | 2
"turtles" | 11 | 1
Using jsonb_array_elements without subquery would return three residences for foxes because of the duplicate entry in the second row. Also the price of the residence would be inflated by 5.
Is there any way to do this without using the sub-query, or any better way to accomplish this result?
EDIT
Initially I did not mention the price column.

Answer 1

select category, count(distinct (id, category))
from residences, jsonb_array_elements(categories) category
group by category
order by category;
category | count
------------+-------
"foxes" | 2
"hamsters" | 2
"monkeys" | 2
"turtles" | 1
(4 rows)
You have to use a derived table to aggregate another column (all prices at 10):
select category, count(*), sum(price) total
from (
select distinct id, category, price
from residences, jsonb_array_elements(categories) category
) s
group by category
order by category;
category | count | total
------------+-------+-------
"foxes" | 2 | 20
"hamsters" | 2 | 20
"monkeys" | 2 | 20
"turtles" | 1 | 10
(4 rows)
