Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Garden City?

Gross bookings per Garden City listing averaged $17,657 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Kansas average: $26,103), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Garden City listing brings in $2,870 in August, its best month, and $2,080 in July, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: August leads December by 4%, and July sits just 4% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 38% more than the slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,490+ a month, about twice the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,490 or more, roughly $1,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,320 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,300 or less, about 56% 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 Garden City Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Garden City Airbnb took in $17,657 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,040 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 $1,570 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $700 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,100 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $900 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 Garden City's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Garden City listings are booked on 71% or more of their nights, against 50% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $145 adds about $1,440 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $180 a night or more, against a median of $145. 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 $1,700 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $2,870, against $2,080 in July, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Garden City listings average 4.93 stars, and 73% 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 $2,210 a month, against $1,470 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Garden City?

Garden City listings were booked on 46% of the nights they were open over the past year, 3 percentage points above the Kansas average (43%) and 5 points above the U.S. average (41%).

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

The 12-month ADR of $161 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 Garden City?

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 Garden City it averaged $72 over the past year, from about $67 in a typical July to about $93 in a typical August.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Garden City

None of the 41 active listings in Garden City 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 Garden City.
