Every market

Airbnb & short-term rental data for all 14 South East markets

Every South East city, town and resort market with a free AirDNA data page, A to Z. Each page reports active listings, occupancy rate, average daily rate, annual revenue, supply mix and the largest property managers.

About the data

What is AirDNA's Airbnb & short-term rental data?

AirDNA tracks the daily performance of more than 10 million short-term rental listings on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com across 120,000+ markets worldwide. The 14 market pagesfor South East on this site are a free, monthly-refreshed slice of that dataset: for every market, the trailing-twelve-month active listing count, annual revenue per listing, occupancy rate, average daily rate (ADR), RevPAR and AirDNA's Market Score, plus supply mix and the largest property managers.

Where the data comes from

Listing, calendar and booking activity is collected directly from Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com and supplemented by 1M+ partner properties connected through property management systems, channel managers and direct host integrations. The same home listed on several channels is counted once.

How AirDNA collects data →

How often it updates

Market pages are refreshed monthly. Every headline metric is a trailing-twelve-month figure, so a market is judged on a full year of bookings, not one busy or slow month. The “Updated” date at the top of each page is the real refresh date.

How often AirDNA data is updated →

What every market page includes

  • Active listings. Homes on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com available or booked in the trailing 12 months, de-duplicated across channels.
  • Annual revenue. Trailing-twelve-month earnings of a typical active listing, including nightly rates and guest fees.
  • Occupancy. The share of available nights that were actually booked.
  • ADR & RevPAR. What booked nights cost on average, and revenue per available night (occupancy × ADR).
  • Market Score. A 40–100 grade of short-term rental potential, with five subscores.
  • Supply & operators. Property types, bedroom mix, channel split, availability and the largest property managers.

How the Market Score works

AirDNA's Market Score grades each market from 40 to 100 on short-term rental potential, benchmarked against other short-term rental markets in the same country with at least 15 active listings. It combines five subscores, each computed from observed market data:

  • Rental demand: annual occupancy combined with year-over-year listing growth.
  • Revenue growth: the year-over-year change in RevPAR, counting only properties booked in both periods.
  • Seasonality: the percentage gap between the lowest and highest monthly average revenue over the past year (a smaller swing scores higher).
  • Regulation: signals of short-term-rental rules inferred from host and property behavior.
  • Investability: local home prices relative to what short-term rentals in the area earn.

Key definitions

How AirDNA defines these metrics

Active listings
Active listings are the short-term rentals on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com that were available or booked in the trailing 12 months. AirDNA de-duplicates the same home across channels, and the count refreshes monthly.How AirDNA counts active listings →
Annual revenue
Annual revenue is the trailing-twelve-month earnings of a typical active listing before host expenses, including booked nightly rates plus cleaning and other guest fees.How AirDNA calculates revenue →
Occupancy
Occupancy is the share of available nights that get booked, averaged across active listings over the trailing 12 months. It measures real demand, not how many nights a host chooses to list.How AirDNA calculates occupancy →
Average daily rate (ADR)
ADR is the average nightly price guests actually paid across booked nights in the trailing 12 months. Nights that didn't book are excluded.How AirDNA calculates ADR →
RevPAR
RevPAR (revenue per available rental) is occupancy multiplied by ADR. It captures both how often a listing books and what it charges, making it the truest measure of earning power per available night.What is RevPAR? →
Market Score
AirDNA's Market Score grades each market from 40 to 100 on short-term rental potential, weighing rental demand, revenue growth, seasonality, regulation, and investability. Markets are benchmarked against others in the same country.How Market Score is calculated →
