Which costs more per night, Dallas or Fort Worth?
The listed nightly price is the asking price of a near-term stay at a bookable entire home, net of host discounts and before taxes and fees: what a guest was quoted, not what a guest paid.

Which market has more nights still open to book?
Open nights are the calendar nights a host still offers to book, as Inside Airbnb collected them. A night that is not open may be booked or blocked by the host, and the calendar does not say which, so a low share open is not proof of demand on its own.
| Bedrooms, December nights open | Dallas | Fort Worth | Gap, Fort Worth minus Dallas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 80.8% | 72.0% | -8.8 pts |
| 1 | 84.0% | 82.4% | -1.6 pts |
| 2 | 81.6% | 79.1% | -2.5 pts |
| 3 | 80.4% | 78.3% | -2.1 pts |
| 4+ | 79.6% | 81.0% | +1.4 pts |
| All | 82.1% | 80.0% | -2.1 pts |

Which market has the higher estimated occupancy?
Estimated occupancy is Inside Airbnb's own review-based model, run by UpRev with each region's average stay. It is an estimate built from reviews, not a count of bookings, and it reads low because a review follows check-out.
| Bedrooms, estimated occupancy, mean | Dallas | Fort Worth | Gap, Fort Worth minus Dallas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 30.8% | 28.3% | -2.5 pts |
| 1 | 26.6% | 30.3% | +3.7 pts |
| 2 | 26.9% | 29.0% | +2.1 pts |
| 3 | 24.4% | 23.3% | -1.1 pts |
| 4+ | 24.1% | 22.1% | -2.0 pts |
| All | 26.0% | 26.7% | +0.7 pts |

What stands out in each market?
Dallas, TX: UpRev's September 2026 count of Inside Airbnb's Dallas data puts the median near-term quote for a bookable entire home at $218 a night, below the 34-region median of $272. Dallas had more of October still open than almost any other region: 66.6% of October nights, the 2nd highest share of the 34.
Fort Worth, TX: UpRev's September 2026 benchmark puts the median near-term quoted price of a Fort Worth short-term rental at $221 a night, below the 34-region median of $272. Fort Worth's supply leans to family-size homes: 3-bedroom homes are 27.3% of its bookable entire homes, the 5th highest share of the 34 US regions.
How should the gaps be read?
Each gap is the second market minus the first, computed from the two figures printed beside it and at their precision; a dash marks a class too small to report on either side. A gap in shares is in percentage points. The supply ratio is the second market's bookable entire homes over the first's.
Inside Airbnb collects each region on its own days, so the regions' calendars were read at different distances from each month ahead, and a gap in open nights between two regions partly reflects the days each was collected. Every row carries its own snapshot date, and the method page sets out the rest.
