Airbnb Market Analytics & Investment Insights
Yes, with caveats: Philadelphia’s active full-time Airbnb operators average $22,969 in annual revenue, with 43% occupancy and a $133 ADR (Chalet data). The city enforces robust licensing, zoning, and a 15.5% lodging tax, creating real compliance hurdles.
Top-quartile operators see upside to $36,319. The widely cited median revenue ($24,940) is inflated by part-time listings—active operator earnings are notably lower. Regulatory diligence is essential; review [Philadelphia STR regulations](/rental-regulations/philadelphia-pa) before investing.

Quarterly average across active listings
Score a specific Philadelphia address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
Philadelphia's ADR rises 62% from Sep ($106) to Feb ($172), but occupancy rises 2.3× 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.
