How this ranking works

  • The regulatory score rates how permissive local short-term rental rules, permits and enforcement are.
  • Cash-on-cash, occupancy and nightly rate come from PulseReal's short-term rental market model on Airbnb and Vrbo data.
  • Rules vary block by block and HOAs can be stricter than the city; confirm before you buy.

Every input and default is documented in the methodology. 4,488 markets were considered.
