Where our rent data is dense enough to publish on

Every chart on this site is computed from real, refreshed daily, advertised rents on apartment leasing pages. There are 133,005 approved units across 9,306 properties in 1124 cities and 51 states. But that headline obscures the asymmetry. Some cities are dense enough to publish neighborhood rankings on. Others have three properties and should never appear in a "city ranking" table. This page makes the split explicit. The oldest daily price snapshot in our database is from March 24, 2026.

The three coverage tiers

Every city in our dataset falls into one of three tiers based on property count and snapshot history depth. The thresholds are deliberately conservative.

By state

States ranked by approved property count. The "deep cities" column is the count of cities in that state with deep coverage; this is what tells you whether per-city rankings inside the state are statistically sound.

Deep coverage cities

These are the cities where we will publish neighborhood-level breakdowns, per-bedroom rent comparisons, and trend charts that grow as more snapshot history accumulates. Every entry has at least 15 approved properties and at least 30 days of daily price snapshots.

Moderate coverage cities

These cities contribute to the national distribution but are not yet dense enough for per-city rankings. They will appear here until they cross the 15-property and 30 days-history thresholds.

Thin coverage cities

These cities have approved listings but fewer than 8 properties. They show up as individual apartment pages and on city landing pages but never get rolled up into a "city" data point in research articles. We surface them here because hiding them would misrepresent our footprint.

How a city moves up a tier

A city moves up when two things happen: more apartment properties get added to the dataset, and the existing properties accumulate longer daily snapshot histories. Both happen automatically as the data pipeline runs each morning. There is no manual curation that promotes a city. For thin cities to become moderate they need to cross the 8-property threshold, and to become deep they need 15 properties plus a snapshot record older than 30 days.

If you cover a city you would like us to expand into, the fastest path is to run a search there. The pipeline picks up new properties from search activity and they enter the QA queue automatically.
