What this figure is
Median monthly gross rent of renter households paying cash rent, for all rented homes (table B25064) and by number of bedrooms (table B25031): American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020–2024.
Gross rent is the contract rent plus utilities. It covers all renter households, sitting tenants included, so it lags the rents asked for new leases. Five-year pooled sample survey (2020–2024), not a single-year figure; small areas carry large margins of error. Medians above $3,500 are published only as "$3,500+" and medians below $100 as "$100-". Medians by number of bedrooms rest on fewer households, so they are missing more often and less precise.
