Median gross rent: definition and scope

Median monthly gross rent among renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent, in 2024 inflation-adjusted dollars. The headline is the latest value approved within this website’s frozen release. It is not a promise that no newer upstream product exists. The accessible table retains more precision than the rounded headline.

Limitations and comparability

Gross rent includes contract rent and estimated utilities. It is not today’s asking rent or the cost of newly listed apartments.

The estimate describes the full 2020–2024 ACS period. Compare it with the same five-year product and universe. One-year ACS, model-based products and administrative counts cannot be joined into an unlabeled series.

The direct ACS estimate carries the source 90% margin of error where published. A missing or source-controlled margin of error is identified in the raw file rather than invented. Cross-area associations do not establish individual circumstances or explain what caused a difference.
