Inside Airbnb: Dallas (March 2023)

Working with the Dallas Neighborhood Coaltion, which represents thousands of homeowners from dozens of neighborhoods, Inside Airbnb, using March 2023 data, releases a new report on how Airbnb, the major short-term rental platform, is being used in the City of Dallas.

Key Findings

• The majority of Airbnb use in Dallas, and almost all revenue is "unhosted"
  • 85% of Dallas Airbnb listings are entire home or apartment listings (96% of revenue)
  • Airbnb is mostly entire houses and apartments, not renting out "spare rooms"
• Airbnb entire home listings are growing an average of 44% per year, and have increased 619% since 2016
• Returning entire home short-term rentals from lodging to the housing market would make 16% more rental housing units available across Dallas and up to 62% more in some Council Districts.
• Most entire home Airbnb listings are in a property portfolio managed by commercial “hosts”
  • 66% of entire home listings are offered by “hosts” that have more than one entire home listing
  • Almost half (45%) of entire home listings are in a portfolio with 5 or more entire home rentals
• Absent “hosts” dominate the Airbnb platform in Dallas
• Only half (51%) of entire home listings are operated by “hosts” who self-identify as living in Dallas
