Bolívar Airbnb Market at a Glance

The ranking weighs revenue per listing most, then occupancy and market size, then how evenly income spreads across the year and how it changed on the year. It reflects rental performance, not purchase prices or local short-term rental rules. Most listings in every one of the 6 ranked markets display a registration number, so confirm the local rules for any address you consider. How the ranking works.

Method

How the Ranking Works

The ranking covers the 6 markets in Bolívar with at least 30 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.
