Method

How the Ranking Works

The ranking covers the 17 markets in Ceará with at least 100 active Airbnb listings and data through September 2026. Each market is compared with the others on five measures, and markets are ordered by a weighted blend of where they place on each:

  • Revenue per listing (35%): average revenue an active listing earned over the past 12 months.
  • Occupancy (20%): share of available nights that were booked.
  • Market size (20%): active listings. Bigger markets offer more comparable rentals to price against and more buyers when you sell.
  • Year-round demand (15%): revenue in the slowest month as a share of the best month. The latest month is left out when its bookings look incomplete.
  • Growth (10%): change in revenue per listing from the year before. Markets whose boundaries changed between years are scored in the middle.

The score measures how rentals perform. It does not include purchase prices, financing, operating costs or local short-term rental rules, which vary by address and should be checked before buying. Figures are in US dollars and match each market's own report; see the data methodology for how listings are tracked.

To check one property before buying, run its address and size through the Airbnb estimator for a revenue, occupancy and nightly-rate range from comparable listings.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Airbnb Investing in Ceará

What is the best place to buy an Airbnb in Ceará?

Jijoca de Jericoacoara ranks first of the 17 markets in Ceará in AirROI's ranking, with US$11,000 in average revenue per listing and 33% occupancy. Aquiraz and Fortaleza follow. The ranking weighs revenue, occupancy, market size, seasonality and growth; it leaves out purchase prices.

What are the most profitable Airbnb locations in Ceará?

By revenue per listing, among markets with at least 200 listings, Aquiraz leads at US$11,200 a year, ahead of Jijoca de Jericoacoara at US$11,000. Profit also depends on what a property costs to buy and run, which varies far more between markets than revenue does.

How much does an Airbnb make in Ceará?

The average active listing in Ceará earned US$8,080 over the 12 months to September 2026, at 33% occupancy. Across the ranked markets, the middle half averaged between US$5,340 and US$9,540 per listing. Averages include listings that operated for only part of the year, so a listing rented all year typically earns more.

What is a good Airbnb occupancy rate in Ceará?

The average listing in Ceará was booked on 33% of available nights over the past 12 months. Half of the ranked markets fall between 24% and 31%, so a market above about 31% sits in the top quarter. Occupancy is only half the picture: a market with lower occupancy can still earn more if its nightly rates are higher.

Where is Airbnb demand highest in Ceará?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Fortaleza has the highest occupancy, with 43% of available nights booked, followed by Jijoca de Jericoacoara at 33%. Its listings average about US$65 a night and US$7,790 a year.

What is the best month for Airbnb in Ceará?

July is the highest-earning month for 13 of the 17 ranked markets, followed by December (3). April is the most common slowest month, in 6 of the 17 markets. Each market's report shows its own month-by-month revenue, occupancy and rates.

Which Airbnb markets in Ceará earn the most evenly through the year?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Guaramiranga has the steadiest income: its slowest month, May, still earns about 60% of its best. Aracati follows, at 57%. Steadier markets are easier to budget for, though they do not always earn the most per listing.

Which Airbnb markets are growing fastest in Ceará?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, revenue per listing grew most in Fortaleza, up 13% on the year before, and in Jijoca de Jericoacoara, up 10%. A single strong year can reflect events or new supply, so it is worth checking a market's monthly trend before relying on it.

Is Airbnb still profitable in Ceará in 2026?

Revenue per listing grew in 11 of the 15 ranked markets with a comparable year of data; in the typical market it rose 3%. Whether a given property profits depends on its purchase price, financing and running costs.
