How we got these numbers.

Asking rents, not signed leases. Apartments listed on Apartments.com and Zillow collected Oct 3–16, 2026. Move-in specials aren't taken off.
Each apartment counts once, even when both sites list it. Base rents from $300 to $15,000 a month.
Figures are medians: half the listings ask more, half ask less. The rent map shows averages, which run a little higher.
Every figure comes from two or more buildings, and no building is named. A bedroom count with fewer than 10 listings says “not enough listings”.
Market-rate apartment listings only: whole houses, furnished units, income-restricted units whose listing says so (MFTE and other affordable-housing programs) and rents we found while researching a renter's lease are left out.
Updated every two weeks, when new listings are gathered; the month in the title is the month of the update date above. The full method.
