Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cheongju-si?

Gross bookings per Cheongju-si listing averaged ₩14,428,071 over the 12 months to September 2026 (North Chungcheong average: ₩15,987,172), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Cheongju-si listing brings in ₩2,060,000 in August, its best month, and ₩1,240,000 in April, its slowest. March runs within 4% of April, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₩3,610,000+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₩2,200,000 or more, roughly ₩1,000,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₩1,180,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₩524,000 or less, about 44% of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

August earns about 1.7 times what April does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₩1,550,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Cheongju-si Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Cheongju-si Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Cheongju-si Airbnb took in ₩14,428,071 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₩830,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about ₩1,560,000 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the ₩630,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ₩880,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ₩710,000 a month.

These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Cheongju-si's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cheongju-si listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₩80,100 adds about ₩801,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₩159,000 a night or more, against a median of ₩80,100. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about ₩1,380,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ₩2,060,000, against ₩1,240,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Cheongju-si listings average 4.82 stars, and 27% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about ₩2,240,000 a month, against ₩1,200,000 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Cheongju-si?

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 75%+ of open nights, 43 points above the median.

  • Typical properties (median) fill about 32% of open nights.

August rates run 30% above September's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₩121,000. The 12-month ADR of ₩146,689 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Cheongju-si?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Cheongju-si it averaged ₩48,200 over the past year, from about ₩41,300 in a typical April to about ₩66,600 in a typical August.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₩98,600+ per open night, about 2.8 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₩66,700 or more, about ₩32,000 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₩35,200 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₩14,900 or less, about 42% of the median.
