About this ranking
Monthly gross rent of renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent, at the middle of the distribution, in US dollars of the last year of the period.
More on how it is measured
- Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated cost of utilities and fuels paid by the renter.
- United States: American Community Survey five-year estimate, where the period shown is the last year of the five-year span.
A median, not an average, of what all renters pay, including long-standing leases, so it is lower than asking rents for new listings.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the cities are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
