METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator) List rents data reflects median rent prices advertised for available apartments rather than median rent payments; more information is available in the indicator definition above. Regional and local geographies rely on data collected by real Answers, a research organization and database publisher specializing in the multifamily housing market. real Answers focuses on collecting longitudinal data for individual rental properties through quarterly surveys. For the Bay Area, their database is comprised of properties with 40 to 3,000+ housing units. Median list prices most likely have an upward bias due to the exclusion of smaller properties. The bias may be most extreme in geographies where large rental properties represent a small portion of the overall rental market. A map of the individual properties surveyed is included in the Local Focus section.

Individual properties surveyed provided lower- and upper-bound ranges for the various types of housing available (studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, etc.). Median lower- and upper-bound prices are determined across all housing types for the regional and county geographies. The median list price represented in Vital Signs is the average of the median lower- and upper-bound prices for the region and counties. Median upper-bound prices are determined across all housing types for the city geographies. The median list price represented in Vital Signs is the median upper-bound price for cities. For simplicity, only the mean list rent is displayed for the individual properties. The metro areas geography rely upon Zillow data, which is the median price for rentals listed through www.zillow.com during the month. Like the real Answers data, Zillow's median list prices most likely have an upward bias since small properties are underrepresented in Zillow's listings. The metro area data for the Bay Area cannot be compared to the regional Bay Area data. Due to afore mentioned data limitations, this data is suitable for analyzing the change in list rents over time but not necessarily comparisons of absolute list rents. Metro area boundaries reflects today’s metro area definitions by county for consistency, rather than historical metro area boundaries.

Due to the limited number of rental properties surveyed, city-level data is unavailable for Atherton, Belvedere, Brisbane, Calistoga, Clayton, Cloverdale, Cotati, Fairfax, Half Moon Bay, Healdsburg, Hillsborough, Los Altos Hills, Monte Sereno, Moranga, Oakley, Orinda, Portola Valley, Rio Vista, Ross, San Anselmo, San Carlos, Saratoga, Sebastopol, Windsor, Woodside, and Yountville.

Inflation-adjusted data are presented to illustrate how rents have grown relative to overall price increases; that said, the use of the Consumer Price Index does create some challenges given the fact that housing represents a major chunk of consumer goods bundle used to calculate CPI. This reflects a methodological tradeoff between precision and accuracy and is a common concern when working with any commodity that is a major component of CPI itself. Percent change in inflation-adjusted median is calculated with respect to the median price from the fourth quarter or December of the base year.

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.

Amsterdam is set to maintain its position as Europe's most expensive city for apartment rentals in 2025, with median costs reaching 2,500 euros per month for a furnished one-bedroom unit. This figure is double the rent in Prague and significantly higher than other major European capitals like Paris, Berlin, and Madrid. The stark difference in rental costs across European cities reflects broader economic trends, housing policies, and the complex interplay between supply and demand in urban centers. Factors driving rental costs across Europe The disparity in rental prices across European cities can be attributed to various factors. In countries like Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, a higher proportion of the population lives in rental housing. This trend contributes to increased demand and potentially higher living costs in these nations. Conversely, many Eastern and Southern European countries have homeownership rates exceeding 90 percent, which may help keep rental prices lower in those regions. Housing affordability and market dynamics The relationship between housing prices and rental rates varies significantly across Europe. As of 2024, countries like Turkey, Iceland, Portugal, and Hungary had the highest house price to rent ratio indices. This indicates a widening gap between property values and rental costs since 2015. The affordability of homeownership versus renting differs greatly among European nations, with some countries experiencing rapid increases in property values that outpace rental growth. These market dynamics influence rental costs and contribute to the diverse rental landscape observed across European cities.

Rent Inflation in the United States decreased to 3.80 percent in June from 3.90 percent in May of 2025. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for the United States Rent Inflation.

This map shows the median contract rent (what people pay in existing leases) and the percent of renters by state, county, and census tract. Contract rent is what people actually pay in existing leases, including households who have been renting for years. Median contract rent is usually substantially lower than market rent, which is the amount that units are currently going for if you were to sign a lease today.This map uses these hosted feature layers containing the most recent American Community Survey data. These layers are part of the ArcGIS Living Atlas, and are updated every year when the American Community Survey releases new estimates, so values in the map always reflect the newest data available.

Rents in Germany continued to increase in all seven major cities in 2024. The average rent per square meter in Munich was approximately **** euros — the highest in the country. Conversely, Düsseldorf had the most affordable rent, at approximately **** euros per square meter. But how does renting compare to buying? According to the house price to rent ratio, house prices in Germany have risen faster than rents, making renting more affordable than buying. Affordability of housing in Germany In 2023, Germany was among the European countries with a relatively high house price to income ratio in Europe. The indicator compares the affordability of housing across OECD countries and is calculated as the nominal house prices divided by nominal disposable income per head, with 2015 chosen as a base year. Between 2012 and 2022, property prices in the country rose much faster than income, with the house price to income index peaking at *** index points at the beginning of 2022. Slower house price growth in the following years has led to the index declining, as incomes catch up. Nevertheless, homebuyers in 2024 faced significantly higher mortgage interest rates, contributing to a higher final cost. How much does buying a property in Germany cost? Just as with renting, Munich was the most expensive city for newly built apartments. In 2024, the cost per square meter in Munich was almost ***** euros pricier than in the runner-up city, Frankfurt. Detached and semi-detached houses are usually more expensive. The price gap between Munich and the second most expensive city, Stuttgart, was nearly ***** euros per square meter.

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. **

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.

This map shows housing costs as a percentage of household income. Severe housing cost burden is described as when over 50% of income in a household is spent on housing costs. For renters it is over 50% of household income going towards gross rent (contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities). Miami, Florida accounts for the having the highest population of renters with severe housing burden costs.The map's topic is shown by tract and county centroids. This service is updated annually to contain the most currently released American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. Income is based on earnings in past 12 months of survey.

The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December.

Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2010 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles.

Rental Vacancy Rate in the United States was 7.10% in January of 2025, according to the United States Federal Reserve. Historically, Rental Vacancy Rate in the United States reached a record high of 11.10 in July of 2009 and a record low of 5.00 in January of 1978. Trading Economics provides the current actual value, an historical data chart and related indicators for Rental Vacancy Rate in the United States - last updated from the United States Federal Reserve on July of 2025.

The monthly median asking rent for unfurnished apartments in the United States rose by about ** U.S. dollars in 2024. In the third quarter of 2024, the median rent amounted to ***** U.S. dollars, up from ***** U.S. dollars in 2023. This increase was in line with a decade of steady growth, interrupted only in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and in 2023. The U.S. rental market As rental apartment vacancy rates fall, rents are on the rise. This makes it more difficult for Americans to, first, find an apartment to rent, and second, find an apartment which they can afford. Nevertheless, renting has become much more common in recent years, with the number of renter households having substantially increased in the past two decades. In 2024, there were approximately **** million renter households in the U.S. Rents in different states Of course, rents vary from state to state. The most expensive rents are found in Hawaii, California, District of Colombia, New Jersey, and Florida. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, growth was the strongest in the Sun Belt states, and especially in states with lower costs of living, such as Texas. In Austin, TX, the average rent soared by nearly ** percent in 2021, and remained elevated, despite a slight decline in 2023.

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.

This scene visualizes advertised Tippecanoe county apartment rents collected from public listings within the past few years. These rents have been tied together with assessment data. Layers are filterable by categories like Effective Year Built, Tenancy Type, Amenity level, and more. The data in this map was known to include the most recent found rents and assessment data as of March 15, 2022.

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.

This EnviroAtlas data set depicts estimates for mean cash rent paid for land by farmers, sorted by county for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland, and pasture by for most of the conterminous US. This data comes from national surveys which includes approximately 240,000 farms and applies to all crops. According to the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), these surveys do not include land rented for a share of the crop, on a fee per head, per pound of gain, by animal unit month (AUM), rented free of charge, or land that includes buildings such as barns. For each land use category with positive acres, respondents are given the option of reporting rent per acre or total dollars paid. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

The Balearic Islands, Catalonia, and the Community of Madrid were the most expensive Spanish regions for residential real estate rents in October 2023. The average monthly rent per square meter in these regions was 16.1 euros. On the other end of the scale stood regions such as Extremadura and Castile-La Mancha which had the most affordable rental housing. In Spain, the majority of households live in an owner-occupied home. Nevertheless, rental rates have grown substantially since 2013, showing that the market is growing.
