Revenue
Gross bookings per Danville listing averaged $18,714 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kentucky average: $27,730), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Danville listing brings in $2,440 in April, its best month, and $1,300 in January, its slowest. July runs within 2% of April, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
April earns about 1.9 times what January does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
June 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in April 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, April is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Danville Airbnb took in $18,714 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,010 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 $1,650 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,170 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,190 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $880 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.

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month rate of 33% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Danville, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $212 over the past year, about 15% below the Kentucky average of $250 and about 34% below the U.S. average of $320. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in May and June at about $205 and bottom out in January and February at about $185.
The top 10% charge about 2.2 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
May rates run 12% above January's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month ADR of $212 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
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 Danville it averaged $67 over the past year, from about $42 in a typical January to about $81 in a typical April.
