How full are short-term rental calendars, city by city?

Forward calendar fill (booked or owner-blocked nights, an upper bound on occupancy) and fixed-date nightly prices for Airbnb-style vacation rentals, read from real public calendars. Small samples, sample sizes shown, no black-box "estimates".

What "calendar fill" means: the share of nights a listing's public calendar shows as unavailable. Public calendars cannot tell a booked night from a night the owner blocked, so calendar fill is an upper bound on true occupancy, not a booking rate.

*October covers Oct 13–31 only, so it is not comparable with full months. December is still filling, so its median will likely rise as more nights get booked.

Why trust these numbers

Real calendars

Every figure is computed from listings' public availability calendars, not modelled.

Sample sizes shown

Each city page shows how many listings each month is based on (n). Every current sample is small (n under 100) and flagged as such.

Upper bound, said plainly

Calendars mix bookings and owner blocks, so we call it "calendar fill", not occupancy. Methodology →
