Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Akron?

Gross bookings per Akron listing averaged $15,607 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ohio average: $27,235), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Akron listing brings in $3,070 in July, its best month, and $1,310 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 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,790+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,790 or more, roughly $1,300 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,520 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $657 or less, about 43% 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 Akron Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Akron Airbnb took in $15,607 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $840 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 $1,560 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,670 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $980 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $720 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 Akron's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Akron listings are booked on 66% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $110 adds about $1,090 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $160 a night or more, against a median of $110. 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 $1,390 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,070, against $1,310 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Akron listings average 4.77 stars, and 38% 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 $2,390 a month, against $1,300 for the average one.

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

The 12-month rate of 42% 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 Akron?

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 3.7 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $235+ a night, about 2.2 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $160 or more, about $50 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $110 a night.

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

The 12-month ADR of $135 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 Akron?

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 Akron it averaged $61 over the past year, from about $43 in a typical January to about $99 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $131+ per open night, about 2.9 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $77 or more, about $30 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $46 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $22 or less, about half of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Akron

None of the 311 active listings in Akron 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 Akron.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $1,560 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
