Median gross rental yield across 92 metros landed at 9.7% in the latest period, with yield rising in a majority of markets as rents outpaced home values.
92 U.S. metros
Compare Peoria-level yields near the top of the list with coastal metros at the bottom — same methodology, same SFR sample rules, every edition.
Real rents, clear math
Gross yield = median annual rent ÷ median home value. Same properties tracked in both periods, with a minimum sample per metro.
How the Rental Yield Report works
The RentRedi Rental Yield Report measures gross rental yield for single-family rental (SFR) properties across U.S. metros. Gross yield is median annual rent divided by median home value — a clear, comparable signal of income relative to property value for independent landlords and investors.
Figures are built from SFR properties on the RentRedi platform that appear in both comparison periods, with a minimum metro sample. Home values come from public market sources; rents, earnings, and jobs context use RentRedi and public labor data. This is not a census of all rentals — it reflects the market independent landlords operate in.
