One of the main factors driving high rents across European cities is the same as any other consumer-driven business. If demand outweighs supply, prices will inflate. The drive for high paid professionals to be located centrally in prime locations, mixed with the low levels of available space, high land, and construction costs, all keep rental prices increasing. Renting in European cities In 2025, Munich was the most expensive city to rent a furnished studio among the 23 cities surveyed. At ***** euros per month, renting a studio in Munich cost nearly twice the price of a studio in Athens. For one-bedroom apartments or a furnished private room, the most expensive city was Amsterdam. Homeownership in Europe In many European countries owning your home is more commonplace than renting – for instance, in Romania, the homeownership rate is over ** percent. In the UK, affordability of housing is one of the leading housing concerns, with the majority of adults agreeing that first-time buyers getting on a property ladder is a very or somewhat serious problem.

In comparison, studios in Arkansas were approximately three times more affordable.

Between 2020 and 2021, the average monthly rent in the U.S. saw an overall increase. Nevertheless, this was not the case in some states that experienced dramatic negative rental growth.

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.

See the monthly rental prices for over 600 major cities in the United States between May 2023 and May 2024. The first two columns show the cities and states, and the rest of the columns show the monthly data. I'm thinking about pulling more data like this and would love to learn of some online sites that contain more details about apartments such as square feet, utilities, proximity to mass transit, etc. Prices are for USD.

This data was pulled from Rentler.com by Elizabeth on 7/12/2021, 8/12/2021, and 9/6/2021. Her addition to Kaggle from Rentler.com was further sorted by removing the no longer existing dead links column along with other columns such as the description, size of the property in acres, full address, population, and population density as they were not relevant to the work being done with this specific project.

This specific project is based on a hypothetical client who is looking to shop around for her next home and is very budget conscious. She has an idea that she may want a pet in the future and enjoys certain amenities as well, but wants to know how much of a difference in price those amenities will affect her bottom line. She also wants to know which areas of the US will be best for her to consider in terms of price an unit size (sqft).

Questions: Do 2 bed apartments with 1 bathroom have a disproportionate price compared to 2 bed apartments with 2 bathrooms? Do 1 bed apartments with 1 bathroom have a disproportionate price compared to Studio apartments with 1 bathroom? Does Air Conditioning play a role in overall price of a rental unit (regardless of size)? Does having a Dishwasher play a role in overall price of a rental unit (regardless of size)? Does having a Washer/Dryer play a role in overall price of a rental unit (regardless of size)? Does allowing pets play a role in overall price of a rental unit (regardless of size)? What are the top 10 cities to live in in regard to price per square foot? Price with the most amenities? What are the bottom 10 cities to live in in regard to price per square foot? Price with the most/least amenities?

It was also cleaned to minimize as many outliers and null values as possible to better support any hypotheses moving forward. The dataset here includes only listings for 1,2 and 3 bedroom rentals with between 1 and 3.5 baths. All duplicates comparing the fields of Street Address, Beds, Baths, SqFt and Price were removed as well as any fields that contained blanks in the category of SqFt. In order to avoid any unnecessary outliers in exploration, SqFt was limited to 2700, Price to under $3000 and the deposit could only be <= two times the price. The original dataset contained over 270k records and this was cleaned and sorted to just under 100k
