Airbnb Market Analytics & Investment Insights
Yes, with caveats. Chicago’s median annual Airbnb revenue is $35,545, with a median occupancy of 47% and ADR of $184 (Chalet data). The city’s regulatory posture is complex: STRs are legal with licensing, but operators face a high tax stack, building-level caps, and potential precinct bans.
Top-quartile operators can achieve $63,129. While revenue grew +16700.0% year-over-year, ongoing regulatory changes require vigilance—see [Chicago STR regulations](/rental-regulations/chicago-il) for details.

Quarterly average across active listings
Score a specific Chicago address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
Chicago's ADR rises 55% from Feb ($159) to Jul ($247), but occupancy rises 3.2× 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.

Chicago is primarily a drive market — demand is regional and less exposed to airline disruptions or fuel-price spikes, which supports more stable occupancy year-round.
