Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Emporia?
Gross bookings per Emporia listing averaged $16,561 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kansas average: $24,601), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Emporia listing brings in $3,910 in May, its best month, and $1,280 in January, its slowest. February runs within 4% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 37% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,000+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,920 or more, roughly $1,300 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $1,610 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $825 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Emporia Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Emporia Airbnb took in $16,561 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $970 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 $1,780 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,160 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,070 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $840 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 Emporia's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Emporia listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $175 adds about $1,740 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $330 a night or more, against a median of $175. 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 $1,540 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about $3,910, against $1,280 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Emporia listings average 4.91 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 $2,510 a month, against $1,380 for the average one.

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Emporia?
Listings in Emporia were booked on 30% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 42% for the Kansas average. July is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Emporia?
The average booked night in Emporia cost $317 before fees. Half of listings charge between $110 and $330, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Emporia?
None of the active Emporia listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Emporia?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Emporia Airbnb grossed $16,561 in the 12 months to September 2026, 33% below the Kansas average of $24,601. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $11,631 a year (about $970 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $1,780 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
