Methodology & How to Read It

Methodology

Ranked by median gross rent from the US Census ACS, which includes contract rent plus the cost of utilities and fuels where paid by the renter.

How to read this ranking

Median rent reflects the existing rental stock, not just new listings, so it usually sits below advertised asking rents in fast-moving markets.
