Airbnb Market Analytics & Investment Insights
Yes, with caveats: Duluth, MN’s Airbnb market posts a canonical median annual revenue of $39,148, with a market-wide median occupancy of 33% and median ADR of $254 (Chalet data). However, the city’s strict licensing regime and ongoing moratorium on new STR licenses make entry nearly impossible for new operators.
Top-quartile performers reach $53,602 in annual revenue. Regulatory risk is high and compliance is costly. For full details, see [Duluth STR regulations](/rental-regulations/duluth-mn).
