Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Alexandria?

Gross bookings per Alexandria listing averaged $14,605 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Louisiana average: $31,540), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Alexandria listing brings in $2,190 in June, its best month, and $1,390 in February, its slowest. January runs within 2% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 28% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,540+ a month, about 2.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,480 or more, roughly $940 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,540 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $783 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.

June earns about 1.6 times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Alexandria Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Alexandria Airbnb took in $14,605 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $800 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 $1,290 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,400 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $920 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $690 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 Alexandria's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Alexandria listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $140 adds about $1,400 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $180 a night or more, against a median of $140. 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 $1,320 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about $2,190, against $1,390 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Alexandria listings average 4.88 stars, and 52% 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 $1,950 a month, against $1,220 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Alexandria?

Alexandria listings were booked on 38% of the nights they were open over the past year, in line with the Louisiana average and 3 percentage points below the U.S. average (41%).

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 3.6 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 59% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 38% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 21% or less, under two nights a week.

June is usually the busiest month in Alexandria, July the quietest

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month rate of 38% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Alexandria?

The average nightly rate in Alexandria, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $146 over the past year, about 46% below the Louisiana average of $270 and about 54% below the U.S. average of $320. In a typical year, rates peak in June and July at about $150 and bottom out in September and November at about $115.

The top 10% charge about 2.5 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $225+ a night, about 1.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $180 or more, about $40 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $140 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $91 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

July rates run 31% above November's

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

The 12-month ADR of $146 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 Alexandria?

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 Alexandria it averaged $55 over the past year, from about $46 in a typical January to about $73 in a typical June.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $97+ per open night, about twice the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $72 or more, about $25 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $48 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $34 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Alexandria

None of the 79 active listings in Alexandria 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 Alexandria.
