West Virginia was the state with the largest rental increase, while Colorado measured the largest decline. California, one of the most expensive states to rent an apartment, such as California, saw an increase of about *** percent from the previous year. How much should you earn to afford to rent an apartment in different states in the U.S.? Both employment opportunities and the living costs vary widely across the country. In California, which is among the most competitive housing markets in the U.S., the hourly wage needed to afford a two-bedroom apartment rental was roughly ** U.S. dollars, more than twice higher than in North Carolina, Louisiana, or Michigan in 2024. When it comes to the median household income, on the other hand, California does not even make it in the top ten states. How much should you earn to afford a home in some of U.S. largest metros? In 2022, the annual salary needed to buy a median-priced home in the U.S. was ****** U.S. dollars.

Rents for industrial real estate in the U.S. have increased since 2017, with flexible/service space reaching the highest price per square foot in 2024. In just a year, the cost of, flex/service space rose by nearly *****U.S. dollars per square foot. Manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers had lower rents and experienced milder growth. Los Angeles, Orange County, and Inland Empire, California, are some of the most expensive markets in the country. Office real estate is pricier Industrial real estate is far from being the most expensive commercial property type. For instance, average rental rates in major U.S. metros for office space are much higher than those for industrial space. This is most likely because office units are generally located in urban areas where there is limited space and thus higher demand, whereas industrial units are more suited to the outskirts of such urban areas. Industrial units, such as warehouses or factories, require much more space because they need to house large, heavy equipment or serve as a storage unit for future shipments. Big-box distribution space is gaining in importance Warehouses and distribution may currently command the lowest average rent per square foot among industrial space types, but the growing popularity of the asset class has earned it considerable gains over the past years. In 2021 and 2022, high occupier demand and insufficient supply led to soaring taking rent of big-box buildings. During that time, the vacancy rate of distribution centers fell below ****percent. The development of industrial and logistics facilities has accelerated since then, with the new supply coming to market, causing the vacancy rate to increase and the pressures on rent to ease.

This was an increase of about *** U.S. dollars in just five years. In 2020, the median rent stood at ***** U.S. dollars.

In 2025, there were approximately **** million renter households in the U.S. Rents in different states Of course, rents vary from state to state.

The Aosta Valley region had the highest average rent for residential real estate in Italy in 2023. In October that year, the square meter rent in Aosta Valley amounted to 20.6 euros, almost eight euros above the national average. The regions of Lombardy and Tuscany followed with an average price amounting to 17.7 and 16.3 euros per square meter respectively. The average rent in Italy has increased notably since before the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was below 10 euros per square meter.

Rents for unfurnished housing in the Netherlands reached an all-time high in 2023. In the third quarter of the year, the average square meter rent for residential properties reached 17.77 euros, up from 16.9 euros during the same period in 2022. Note that the numbers shown in this statistic are not from a governmental institution, but concern rental housing being offered on the website of the source in the specific quarters. This implies the numbers only show rents of property on the free market and exclude social housing. No difference was made between the type of rental housing, such as houses, apartments, rooms or studios. Big cities well above the average rent price Cities in the Randstad area (the areas surrounding Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam) have a big influence on the average rental price in the Netherlands. This is especially true for Amsterdam, as the Dutch capital registered an average rent price of roughly 26 euros per square meter in 2023. The Hague and Rotterdam, on the other hand, had rental rates below the national average. Are these rents expensive or not? A historical development of rent price indices suggests that rents in the Netherlands are at their highest level since 1990. This graph, however, does not mention whether it has a correction for inflation or not. It is unclear whether any institution researched the development of “real” rent prices in the Netherlands. Statista can offer two components for a potential comparison: the annual housing rent percentage increase since 1990 as well as the inflation rate of the Netherland since 2008.

The average monthly asking rent per square foot of shopping center real estate in the leading markets in Texas increased between 2020 and 2024. Although this trend was observed in all four major markets, Austin recorded the highest rent in 2024, at **** U.S. dollars per square foot. This was higher than both the national average and the average for the South region.

Context of the project Knowledge of the level of rents is important to ensure the proper functioning of the rental market and the conduct of national and local housing policies. In 2018, the Directorate-General for Planning, Housing and Nature (DGALN) launched the “rent map” project by partnering with a research team in economics from Agrosup Dijon and the Institut national de la recherche en agronomique (INRAE) and SeLoger and leboncoin. In 2020, the project was taken over by the National Agency for Housing Information (ANIL), which published, in 2022 and 2023, new versions of the map. This innovative partnership has made it possible to rebuild a database with 8 million rental ads. Based on these data, the research team and ANIL have developed a methodology for estimating indicators, at the municipal level, of rent (including charges) per m² for apartments and houses. These experimental indicators are put online in order to be usable by all: State services, local authorities, real estate professionals, private landlords and tenants. Starting in 2022, the maps are updated and published annually by ANIL. This project provides additional information to that offered by the Local Observatories of Homes (OLL), deployed since 2013 and reinforced since 2018 by the Elan Law. Today, this associative network of about thirty OLL publishes each year precise information on rents charged in about fifty French agglomerations. Presentation of the dataset The data disseminated are indicators of ad rents, at the municipal level. The field covered is the entire France, outside of Mayotte. The geography of the municipalities is the one in force on January 1, 2023. Rent indicators are calculated through the use of ad data published on the Leboncoin and SeLoger Group platforms over the period 2018-2023. Rent indicators are provided inclusive of standard leased property leased empty and leased in Q3 2023 with the following reference characteristics: — For an apartment (all types): area of 52 m² and average area per room of 22.2 m² — For apartment type T1-T2: area of 37 m² and average area per room of 23.0 m² — For apartment type T3 and more: area of 72 m² and average area per room of 21.2 m² — For a house: surface area of 92 m² and average area per room of 22.4 m² Conditions for use of data These indicators are freely usable, provided that the source is mentioned in the following form: “Anil estimates, based on data from the SeLoger Group and leboncoin”. Precautions for use The rent indicators are calculated charges included, on unfurnished ad data. The data were duplicated but without being able to rely on highly discriminatory photos and features. The mesh size method implies, for municipalities without rented accommodation via an advertisement on at least one of the two platforms over the period in question, that the rent indicator is that estimated for a larger mesh comprising neighbouring municipalities with similar characteristics. Users are advised to consider with caution rent indicators in municipalities where the coefficient of determination (R2) is less than 0.5, the number of observations in the municipality is less than 30 or the prediction interval is very wide. Moreover, compared to the previous version of the indicators published in 2022, this new map makes it possible to compare rents only in cases where indicators are calculated at municipal level in both 2022 and 2023.
