Analyst's take

San Francisco's Revenue Growth score: 87 out of 100.

San Francisco's Revenue Growth subscore is 87 out of 100, one of five inputs to its overall Market Score of 88.

Revenue Growth is the year-over-year change in RevPAR (revenue per available rental), counting only properties booked in both periods so new and delisted listings can't skew it. San Francisco's RevPAR is up 5.6% from June 2025 to June 2026.

It is benchmarked against other short-term rental markets in the same country with at least 15 active listings.
