In a typical year, the average Clayton listing brings in $2,640 in August, its best month, and $1,490 in March, its slowest.

Across Clayton's 22 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Clayton Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Clayton Airbnb took in $21,938 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,280 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 $1,940 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,350 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,100 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 Clayton's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Clayton listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $130 adds about $1,320 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $160 a night or more, against a median of $130. 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 $2,100 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $2,640, against $1,490 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Clayton listings average 4.94 stars, and 77% 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 $2,750 a month, against $1,830 for the average one.
