Timing matters: in July, usually the best month, the average listing earns about three times as much as in February, usually the slowest. With only 37 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 37 active listings, Newport is the 66th-largest of 112 Kentucky markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, average revenue rose 9%.

Gross bookings per Newport listing averaged $21,701 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 Newport listing brings in $3,540 in July, its best month, and $1,200 in February, its slowest. June runs within 3% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 twice 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Newport Airbnb took in $21,701 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,190 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 $1,690 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,370 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,020 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.

Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July at about $180 and bottom out in September and November at about $135.

The 12-month ADR of $183 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 Newport it averaged $76 over the past year, from about $43 in a typical February to about $115 in a typical June.

Permits
None of the 37 active listings in Newport 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 Newport.
