Airbnb market data, by the numbers
Most “average Airbnb price in [city]” pages quote a single figure with no sample, no date and no method. These four don't. Every number is recomputed at build time from the public Inside Airbnb export, in US dollars, with the sample size and snapshot date on the page.
The four markets side by side
| Market | Median | 25th–75th | Median reviews | Zero reviews | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Austin, TX | $217 | $133–$363 | 17 | 16.5% | 11,295 |
| Nashville, TN | $282 | $183–$426 | 29 | 12.8% | 10,242 |
| Fort Lauderdale & Broward County, FL | $262 | $170–$421 | 13 | 19.5% | 17,698 |
| Chicago, IL | $223 | $134–$360 | 20 | 17.6% | 8,660 |
What these pages are, and what they are not
They are asking-price distributions: what hosts publish as their nightly rate, before cleaning fees, service fees and taxes. They are not occupancy, revenue or booked rates — the public export does not contain those, and any page that claims to derive them from it is guessing.
Coverage is honest about its gaps. Not every listing publishes a rate, so each page states how many did. Areas with fewer than 30 priced listings are left out of the neighborhood tables, because a median over a handful of listings is a number that looks precise and means nothing.
