Where does this data come from?

About the data
About This Data
Every figure comes from AirROI's data on active Airbnb listings over the 12 months to October 2026: listings open to bookings through the year, run by the company as host or as co-host on the owner's account. The company's Airbnb accounts with 5 or more listings are joined by name, so smaller accounts may be missing and the counts are a floor; homes listed only on other sites are not counted. Nothing is self-reported. Profiles are refreshed every month, next in December 2026. The method page gives how homes are counted, how accounts are credited and joined, and how a region is drawn.
