Sources & methodology
Public short-term-rental data (Airbnb and similar platforms), computed over a broad sample of entire homes active during the month — not a full census of the market. Monthly revenue is an estimate of gross per-listing income (median), before Airbnb fees, cleaning, taxes and other host costs; it is not an income promise for any specific unit. Immutable monthly series.
