How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Danville?

In a typical year, the average Danville listing brings in $3,900 in September, its best month, and $1,570 in January, its slowest.

Across Danville's 24 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,740+ a month, about 2.3 times the typical property.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,070 or less, about 43% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Danville Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Danville Airbnb took in $21,960 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,130 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 $1,670 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,740 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,350 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $970 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 Danville's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Danville listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $155 adds about $1,570 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $225 a night or more, against a median of $155. 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 $1,920 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, September brings the average listing about $3,900, against $1,570 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Danville listings average 4.88 stars, and 54% 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 $2,680 a month, against $1,830 for the average one.
