Bloomington 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 June 2026 and bookings in September 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bloomington Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bloomington Airbnb took in $22,927 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,270 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 $2,220 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,430 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,090 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Bloomington's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bloomington listings are booked on 72% or more of their nights, against 53% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $125 adds about $1,260 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $190 a night or more, against a median of $125. 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 $2,090 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,450, against $1,940 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bloomington listings average 4.84 stars, and 43% 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 $3,310 a month, against $1,910 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Bloomington
None of the 148 active listings in Bloomington display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Bloomington.
