METHODOLOGY

What these numbers mean

Asking rent reflects rental prices advertised to prospective tenants. Paid rent reflects rents paid by tenants under the source methodology. The estimates describe different populations and should not be subtracted to claim an individual renter's savings.

These are experimental, published averages—not guaranteed current listings or a complete cost-of-living measure. Data is a fixed Q2 2026 snapshot, not live.

Experimental estimates; use original table metadata to assess coverage, definitions and uncertainty.
