Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Poplar Bluff?

Gross bookings per Poplar Bluff listing averaged $11,616 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Missouri average: $29,798), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Poplar Bluff listing brings in $2,120 in May, its best month, and $1,330 in January, its slowest. June runs within 4% of May, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,390+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,250 or more, roughly $950 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,300 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $629 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.

May earns about 1.6 times what January does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Poplar Bluff Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Poplar Bluff Airbnb took in $11,616 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $580 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 $1,010 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,620 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $710 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $500 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 Poplar Bluff's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Poplar Bluff listings are booked on 47% or more of their nights, against 29% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $150 adds about $1,500 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $200 a night or more, against a median of $150. 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 $1,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about $2,120, against $1,330 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Poplar Bluff listings average 4.86 stars, and 39% 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 $1,680 a month, against $970 for the average one.
