About this data
- A city is included when the ACS published at least 100,000 residents in the 2023 five-year estimates. Smaller places are left out.
- Median gross rent is the midpoint of contract rent plus estimated monthly utilities and fuels for renter-occupied units, in 2023 dollars (ACS table B25064). It is not an average asking rent.
- A city median is the midpoint for renters in that city, so these figures cannot be averaged to produce a national figure.
- The map covers the 48 contiguous states. Cities in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico stay in the ranking and table.
- These are place figures, not metropolitan-area figures.
- None of the median gross rents were suppressed, and every rent margin of error was published.
- For some cities the ACS does not publish a population margin of error (code *****): the estimate is controlled to official counts, so a sampling error is not applicable. Those cells are shown as a dash, not as −555,555,555. That applies to 20 cities in this set.
