Airbnb Market Analytics & Investment Insights
Yes, with caveats: Birmingham, AL’s Airbnb market posts a whole-market median annual revenue of $30,077, with 48% occupancy and a median ADR of $173 (Chalet data). However, a pending 2026 ordinance could sharply restrict STRs in single-family zones and impose a 1% density cap, raising compliance risks.
Top-quartile operators see upside to $46,246. Regulatory vigilance is essential for sustained success. For details, see [Birmingham STR regulations](/rental-regulations/birmingham-al).

Quarterly average across active listings
Score a specific Birmingham address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
Birmingham's ADR rises 30% from Jul ($148) to Feb ($192), but occupancy rises 1.9× in the same window. The revenue lever here is occupancy capture, not pricing — set rates competitively in shoulder months to maximize summer bookings, then push ADR aggressively in peak months when demand is inelastic.
