The study highlights which cities are home to the largest proportion of renters, reflecting housing market dynamics across the country and using metrics such as population, average rent costs, rent-to-income ratio, rent occupancy rate and geographical mobility percentage. The study sources data from the U.S. Census as well as Zillow and Statista.

A spokesperson from Highland Cabinetry commented on the study: “The rental market in the U.S. cities is constantly shifting, and this analysis shows how factors like affordability and location continue to drive rental trends. While cities like Newark and Cincinnati offer lower rent prices, places like New York and Los Angeles remain popular despite their high costs. These insights help us understand the broader housing landscape and highlight the importance of finding solutions that meet the growing demand for rental properties in both affordable and high-demand areas.”
