The average monthly rent for all apartment types in the U.S. soared in 2021 and 2022, followed by a slight decline in the next two years. In April 2025, the monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment amounting to ***** U.S. dollars. That was an increase from ***** U.S. dollars in January 2021, but a decline from the peak value of ***** U.S. dollars in August 2022. Where are the most expensive apartments in the U.S.? Apartment rents vary widely from state to state. To afford a two-bedroom apartment in California, for example, a renter needed to earn an average hourly wage of nearly ** U.S. dollars, which was approximately double the average wage in North Carolina and three times as much as the average wage in Arkansas. In fact, rental costs were considerably higher than the hourly minimum wage in all U.S. states. How did rents change in different states in the U.S.? In 2024, some of the most expensive states to rent an apartment only saw a moderate increase in rental prices. Nevertheless, rents increased in most states as of April 2025. In West Virginia, the annual rental growth was the highest, at ***** percent.

Apartment rents in two states and the District of Columbia in the U.S. exceeded ***** U.S. dollars in April 2025. In Hawaii, the median rent was about ***** U.S. dollars, nearly *** U.S. dollars higher than the national average. At the other end of the spectrum was Nebraska, where renters paid about ***** U.S. dollars for the median new lease. Overall, most states saw rental rates increase year-on-year.

In January 2025, apartment rents recorded an annual growth in most U.S. states. Nevertheless, the national average rent declined by about *** percent. 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. However, in some of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, where housing prices are up to two or three times higher, homebuyers would have to earn more than 100,000 U.S. dollars to afford a home. In San Jose, which was the most expensive metro, the annual salary needed for a median-priced home was approximately ******* U.S. dollars.

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. The Directorate-General for Planning, Housing and Nature (DGALN) launched in 2018 the “rent map” project by partnering on the one hand with a research team in economics of Agrosup Dijon and the National Institute of Research in Agronomics (INRAE), and on the other hand with SeLoger and leboncoin. In 2020, the project was taken over by the National Agency for Housing Information (ANIL), which published a new version of the map in 2022. This innovative partnership has rebuilt a database with more than 7 million rental ads. On the basis of these data, the research team and ANIL have developed a methodology for estimating indicators, at the communal scale, 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 donors and tenants. From 2022, the maps are updated and published annually by ANIL. This project provides additional information to that offered by the Local Land Observatorys (OLL), deployed since 2013 and reinforced since 2018 by the Elan law. Today, this associative network of around thirty OLs publishes precise information every year on rents in some 50 French agglomerations. Presentation of the dataset The data disseminated are indicators of ad rents, at the level of the municipality. The field covered is the whole of France, outside of Mayotte. The geography of the municipalities is that in force on 1 January 2022. Rent indicators are calculated through the use of ad data published on the platforms of leboncoin and Groupe SeLoger over the period -2018-2022. Rent indicators are provided including charges for empty leased standard properties and leased in Q3 2022 with the following reference characteristics: — For an apartment (all types combined): 52 m² and average area per room of 22.2 m² — For apartment type T1-T2: surface area of 37 m² and average area per room of 22.9 m² — For apartment type T3 or more: area of 72 m² and average area per room of 21.2 m² — For a house: area of 92 m² and average area per room of 22.3 m² Conditions for data use These indicators can be freely used, provided that the source is indicated as follows: ANIL estimates, based on data from the SeLoger Group and leboncoin. Precautions of employment Rent indicators are calculated on unfurnished property and expenses included, on ad data. The data were duplicated but could not rely on very discriminating photos and characteristics. The method of meshing implies, for municipalities with no dwellings rented via an advertisement on at least one of the two sites during the period considered, which rent indicator is that estimated for a larger mesh comprising neighbouring municipalities with similar characteristics. Users are advised to consider rent indicators with caution 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. **In addition, compared to the previous version of the indicators published in 2020, this new map does not allow to measure changes in rent, due to differences in the communal mesh size and changes in methodology. **

Median monthly rental prices for the private rental market in England by bedroom category, region and administrative area, calculated using data from the Valuation Office Agency and Office for National Statistics.

Description: This data provides a range of statistics on residential rental prices. Data is available on average rental prices (€ per month) for property types by bedroom size – all bedrooms and then 1 to 4 bedrooms.The RTB Rent Index is the most accurate and authoritative report of its kind on the private rental sector in Ireland. The index is based on the RTB’s national register of tenancies and captures actual rents being paid for rented properties, rather than asking prices. The RTB Average Rent Dataset reports on the average rent in a number of locations around the country. The dashboards provide an annual view of transactions from 2008 to 2022.Geography available in RDM: State, Regional Assembly and Strategic Planning Area (SPA), County (26), Key Settlements.Source: Residential Tenancies Board (RTB)Weblink: https://data.cso.ie/table/RIQ02Date of last source data update: August 2023Update Schedule: Annual

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.

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.

A more recent version of these indicators can be found on this page: https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/carte-des-loyers-indicateurs-de-loyers-dannonce-par-commune-en-2022/ Due to the evolution of the methodology and the communal mesh size, successive versions of the indicators cannot be compared to provide information on the evolution of rents. ### 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. The Directorate-General for Planning, Housing and Nature (DGALN) launched in 2018 the “rent map” project by partnering on the one hand with a research team in economics of Agrosup Dijon and the National Institute of Research in Agronomics (INRAE), and on the other hand with SeLoger, leboncoin and PAP. This innovative partnership has rebuilt a database with more than 9 million rental ads. On the basis of these data, the research team developed a methodology for estimating indicators, at the communal scale, 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 donors and tenants. In a second phase of the project, the methodology will need to be consolidated and sustained, in order to provide for a regular update of these indicators. This project provides additional information to that offered by the Local Land Observatorys (OLL), deployed since 2013 and reinforced since 2018 by the Elan law. Today, this associative network of 30 OLL publishes every year precise information on the rents practiced in 51 of the main French agglomerations. ### Presentation of the dataset The data disseminated are indicators of ad rents, at the level of the municipality. The field covered is the whole of France, outside of Mayotte. The geography of the municipalities is the one in force on 1 January 2017. Rent indicators are calculated using ad data published on leboncoin, SeLoger and PAP over the period 2015-2019. Rent indicators are provided including charges for standard properties leased in the 3 rd quarter of 2018 with the following reference characteristics: — For an apartment: 49 m² and average area per room of 22.1 m² — For a house: 92 m² area and average area per room of 22.5 m² ### Data terms and conditions These indicators can be freely used, provided that the source is indicated as follows: “UMR 1041 CESAER estimates (AgroSup Dijon-INRAE) from SeLoger, leboncoin, PAP”. ### Precautions for use Rent indicators are calculated including charges, on ad data, so measure flow rents only. The data were duplicated but could not rely on very discriminating photos and characteristics. For municipalities with no housing leased through an advertisement on at least one of the three sites during the period considered, the rent indicator is that estimated for a larger grid comprising neighbouring municipalities with similar characteristics. Moreover, since the data do not make it possible to distinguish with certainty furnished and tourist rentals, biases in the rent indicators can be observed locally. Users are advised to consider rent indicators with caution 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.

The average agreed rent for new tenancies in the UK ranged from *** British pounds to ***** British pounds, depending on the region. On average, renters outside of London paid ***** British pounds, whereas in London, this figure amounted to ***** British pounds. Rents have been on the rise for many years, but the period after the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this trend. Since 2015, the average rent in the UK increased by about ** percent, with about half of that gain achieved in the period after the pandemic. Why have UK rents increased so much? One of the main reasons driving up rental prices is the declining affordability of homeownership. Historically, house prices grew faster than rents, making renting more financially feasible than buying. In 2022, when the house price to rent ratio index peaked, house prices had outgrown rents by nearly ** percent since 2015. As house prices peaked in 2022, home buying slowed, exacerbating demand for rental properties and leading to soaring rental prices. How expensive is too expensive? Although there is no official requirement about the proportion of income spent on rent for it to be considered affordable, a popular rule is that rent should not exceed more than ** percent of income. In 2024, most renters in the UK exceeded that threshold, with the southern regions significantly more likely to spend upward of ** percent of their income on rent. Rental affordability has sparked a move away from the capital to other regions in the UK, such as the South East (Brighton and Southampton), the West Midlands (Birmingham) and the North West (Liverpool, Manchester, Blackpool and Preston).

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 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.

In December 2023, the average rent per square meter of an apartment in the first arrondissement of Paris amounted to ** euros. This arrondissement, situated in the center of the French capital, is the smallest by area and yet, one of the most expensive ones for renters. Paris appears to have some of the highest rents in Europe. The housing crisis in France Although France had the highest number of completed housing units per 1,000 citizens in Europe in 2022, demand in the capital far outweighs supply. The lack of affordable housing for purchase increases competition in the rental market, leading to rents soaring in the past decade. Residential prices in capital cities in Europe are usually higher than the national average, but in France, this trend is even more pronounced. In 2022, homebuyers in Paris paid more than three times higher than the national average - a price gap only Lisbon comes close to. The cost of living in the French capital Paris counts some of the world’s most incredible historical sites, as well as a vibrant culture. But living in the City of Lights is becoming more expensive every year. In 2019, The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Worldwide named Paris the second city with the highest cost of living worldwide. Even though the average cost for public transport is surprisingly low in Paris, compared to other European cities, real estate prices and the costs of food or entertainment can make Parisian life less romantic than expected.

The monthly rent of mobile homes in the U.S. has gradually increased since 2010, peaking in 2024. In the third quarter of that year, the average monthly rent for manufactured homes was *** U.S. dollars. Similarly, apartment rents also soared in 2022, followed by a slight decline in the next two years. Where in the U.S. are manufactured homes most popular? States with a growing economy and large population provide the best opportunities for manufactured housing. In September 2023, Texas had the highest number of mobile homes in the United States. Other states with a high number of mobile homes were North Carolina and Florida. Moreover, Texas also boasted the highest number of manufactured home production plants. Affordability of mobile homes across the U.S. Manufactured homes are considerably less expensive than regular homes, which makes them an attractive option for people looking to purchase property without breaking the bank. Mobile homes are cheaper because manufacturers benefit from economies of scale due to large-scale production, which allows them to lower costs per unit. Additionally, mobile homes lose value faster than traditional homes, which can make them more affordable to purchase initially. The average sales price for a new mobile home has been on the rise, but during the housing boom in 2021, it increased dramatically.

Between 2008 and 2024, the average weekly rent for private renters in England has shown a significant increase. In the 2009, the average rent was 153 British pounds, and by 2024, it had risen to 237 British pounds. Excluding London, the average rent started at 130 British pounds in 2009 and reached 191 British pounds in 2024, demonstrating a similar upward trend but at a lower rate compared to the overall average in England. Rental households in England Renting is common in England. Nearly one in five households occupied a dwelling that was privately rented in 2024. While the majority of households in the country live in an owner-occupied home, this percentage has declined since the early 2000s. Meanwhile, the share of households occupying a private rental has doubled over the past decade. This shows a growing rental sector and a shift in tenure trends in the country. Buying vs renting costs For a long time, the average monthly costs of buying a home were lower than renting. In 2021, housing costs started to increase steeply, closely followed by rental costs. This resulted in the gap nearly closing in 2023. This trend can also be observed through the house price to rent ratio - an index that follows the development of house prices relative to rents, with 2015 as a baseline year. Between 2015 and 2022, the ratio grew steadily, indicating that property prices rise faster than rents. However, with rental growth accelerating and catching up with property prices in 2022, the index declined notably.
