How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sioux City?
Gross bookings per Sioux City listing averaged $18,728 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Iowa average: $25,215), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Sioux City listing brings in $3,720 in July, its best month, and $1,850 in January, its slowest. February runs within 5% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,090+ a month, about 2.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,730 or more, roughly $1,400 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $2,380 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,250 or less, about half 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.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in November 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sioux City Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sioux City Airbnb took in $18,728 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,030 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 $1,630 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,430 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,150 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $890 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 Sioux City's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sioux City listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $160 adds about $1,590 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $220 a night or more, against a median of $160. 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 $1,730 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,720, against $1,850 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sioux City listings average 4.84 stars, and 38% 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 $2,440 a month, against $1,560 for the average one.
