How fresh the source is
Yearly (new 5-year release each December); the release read on 3 Nov 2026 was 2020-2024
Limits
A survey estimate, not a count of leases: the median of what a sample of tenants reported, pooled over five years, so it lags today's new leases and is lower than listing rents. Gross rent includes utilities. Estimates with a margin of error above 30% of the figure are not shown. Cities and towns of 50,000 or more people only; small places are covered by their county. Rents above the survey's top code are published as the top code.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
