Analyst's take

Rapid City's Revenue Growth score: 58 out of 100.

Rapid City's Revenue Growth subscore is 58 out of 100, one of five inputs to its overall Market Score of 52.

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. Rapid City's RevPAR is down 6.5% from August 2025 to August 2026.

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