How Market Score is calculated

Analyst's take

Rochester's AirDNA Market Score: 62 out of 100.

Rochester, New York scores 62 out of 100 on AirDNA's Market Score, a 40-to-100 scale benchmarked against other short-term rental markets in the same country with at least 15 active listings.

The score combines 5 subscores, each computed from observed market data:

Rental demand (68): annual occupancy combined with year-over-year listing growth.
Seasonality (69): the percentage gap between the lowest and highest monthly average revenue over the past year (a smaller swing scores higher).
Revenue growth (49): the year-over-year change in RevPAR, counting only properties booked in both periods.
Investability (89): local home prices relative to what short-term rentals in the area earn.
Regulation (64): signals of short-term-rental rules inferred from host and property behavior.

The Market Score is a starting point, not an investment decision.

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? →
