LOS ALTOS, Calif. - March 3, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
In the past year, rent has gone up 17.5% to $1,820/mo, according to data from Dwellsy. Renters now need to spend an extra $3,250 per year on rent vs. this time last year.
"At $1,820 in rent per month, the median renter household with a median rental is spending 52% of their (pre-tax) income on rent," said Jonas Bordo, CEO and Co-Founder of Dwellsy. "That's a shockingly high and growing burden for these households."
Overall statistics, however, mask a dramatic difference between the market for single-family rentals and apartment rentals. Single-family home rentals have seen the majority of rent increases in the past year.
| Single-Family Rentals | Apartment Rentals | |
| Median Rent, February 2022 | $2,160 | $1,600 |
| Rent Increase vs. 1 Year Ago | + 35.0% | + 3.4% |
This analysis is based on Dwellsy's industry-leading data set, which draws from over 12 million rental homes and apartments. In January, Dwellsy analyzed data for more than 446,000 available rentals in over 400 markets across the U.S.
