Same data as the rest of the site, in a form you can sort, layer, and slice. Pick two cities and compare them. See which months actually lease fast. Run your own income against the table.
These are the OC-wide aggregates. They’re benchmarks — useful for orientation, almost never the right number for pricing a specific unit. That work happens in section 02.
Pick the cities you actually care about. The differences across vacancy and lease time often matter more than the rent line itself.
Cell size shows rent. Color shows vacancy — the darker, the tighter the market. Newport sits in the top-left for a reason. Click any cell to drop it into the comparison above.
The COVID dip is visible. So is the 2021–2022 surge that took coastal rents past their pre-pandemic peak. Toggle a city off if it’s crowding the chart.
Single-family rentals top out near $6,800. Apartments cap closer to $4,200. The middle — condos, townhomes — is where the most usable price-to-amenity tradeoffs live. Click any row for the city-level split.
June and July are the peak. December and January are the trough. The gap is about a $700/month difference in landlord leverage on a $3,500 unit. Hover any month to see what to do about it.
Drag the slider to your monthly gross. The cities that turn green pencil at the 30%-of-income rule; the red ones don’t. The 30% threshold is the textbook answer — your real ceiling depends on the rest of the budget.
