Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. 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. *Mar 2026 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Akron Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Akron Airbnb took in $6,748 in the 12 months to March 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about $11,190, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $640 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 63% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $110 adds about $1,120 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $125 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 $600 a year.
- Open for the busy months. February brought the average listing about $1,970, against $936 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Akron listings average 4.64 stars, and 16% 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 $930 a month, against $560 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Akron
