What stands out in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island's largest departure from the 34-region median is December: 61.4% of its December nights were still open to book, the 3rd lowest share of the 34 regions, against a median of 74.1%. The calendar does not separate booked nights from nights the host blocked; Rhode Island's homes with 4 or more bedrooms had 56.4% of December open.
- Large homes are a bigger share of Rhode Island than of most regions: 22.0% of its bookable entire homes have 4 or more bedrooms (34-region median 12.9%), and they quoted a median $861 a night.
- Rhode Island's estimated occupancy since 1 July was 32.8%, above the 34-region median of 29.3%.
- Its bookable entire homes went from 4,213 in the June snapshot to 3,999 in September (-5.1%).
What is the listed nightly price of an Airbnb in Rhode Island?
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.
UpRev's count puts the median near-term quoted price of a bookable entire home at $410 a night; the middle half of quotes ran from $257 to $660, and the top tenth started at $1,095. By size, the median runs from $218 for studios to $861 for homes with 4 or more bedrooms. 2-bedroom homes are the largest group, 28.3% of its 3,999 bookable homes, and 19.9% of its near-term quotes carried a host discount.
| Bedrooms (of 3,999 homes) | Bookable homes | Share of homes | Homes with a near-term quote | Quotes with a discount | 25th percentile | Median | 75th percentile | 90th percentile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

How many nights are still open to book in Rhode Island?
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.
As Inside Airbnb collected it on 28-29 September 2026, UpRev counts 44.5% of October nights at its bookable homes still open to book, 58.6% of November nights and 61.4% of December nights; a night that is not open may be booked or blocked by the host, and the file does not say which. For December, studios had the most nights open (67.2%) and homes with 4 or more bedrooms the fewest (56.4%).
| Bedrooms (of 3,999 homes) | October nights open | November nights open | December nights open |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 36.6% | 58.0% | 67.2% |
| 1 | 42.4% | 59.1% | 62.4% |
| 2 | 44.6% | 60.4% | 63.8% |
| 3 | 46.1% | 60.4% | 62.1% |
| 4+ | 45.5% | 54.0% | 56.4% |

What is the estimated occupancy of an Airbnb in Rhode Island?
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.
Inside Airbnb's review-based model, run by UpRev with the 3-night average stay Inside Airbnb sets for the region, gives its bookable homes an estimated occupancy of 32.8% on average over the 89 nights from 1 July to 27 September 2026; the median home sat at 27.0%, 17.5% of homes reached the model's 70% cap, and because reviews follow check-out the figure reads low. By size, studios had the highest estimated occupancy (45.8%) and homes with 4 or more bedrooms the lowest (27.7%).
| Bedrooms (of 3,999 homes) | Bookable homes | Reviews in the window | Estimated occupancy, mean | Estimated occupancy, median | Homes at the 70% cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 80 | 715 | 45.8% | 61.8% | 42.5% |
| 1 | 905 | 5,975 | 36.0% | 40.4% | 25.9% |
| 2 | 1,130 | 6,195 | 33.6% | 33.7% | 18.4% |
| 3 | 999 | 4,886 | 32.5% | 27.0% | 15.4% |
| 4+ | 881 | 3,434 | 27.7% | 20.2% | 7.6% |

Inside Airbnb's snapshot holds 6,026 listings, 80.4% of them entire homes, and UpRev counts 3,999 of those as bookable. 53.7% of these bookable homes are run by hosts with two or more listings in the region; the median minimum stay is 2 nights, 11.7% ask for a minimum stay of 30 nights or more, and 82.1% were reviewed in the last 12 months.

How does Rhode Island compare with the 34 short-term rental (STR) markets in the data?
UpRev's benchmark sets the region's 3,999 bookable homes beside the median of the 34 US regions Inside Airbnb covers, each read from its own snapshot of 14-30 September 2026; the regions' calendars were read on different days, so the shares of nights open compare calendars at different distances from each month.

What changed in Rhode Island since the snapshot before?
Between Inside Airbnb's snapshots of 30 June 2026 and 28 September 2026, UpRev counts bookable entire homes going from 4,213 to 3,999 (-5.1%) and the median near-term quoted price from $467 to $410 (-$57, -12.2%); the June quotes were for stays checking in during June and July, so the price change crosses seasons: two snapshots, not a trend; the June file leaves most studios without a bedroom count, so June has no studio figure.
| Measure | June snapshot (4,213 homes) | September snapshot (3,999 homes) | Change | Change, relative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median near-term quoted nightly price (2,348 quotes in September) | $467 | $410 | -$57 | -12.2% |
| Bookable entire homes | 4,213 | 3,999 | -214 | -5.1% |

How does UpRev count Rhode Island?
Bookable entire homes, 3,999 of them, from Inside Airbnb's snapshot of 28 September 2026, collected 28-29 September 2026. Estimated occupancy uses the 3-night average stay Inside Airbnb sets for the region, with which the model reproduces Inside Airbnb's own per-listing estimate on 6,026 of 6,026 listings in this snapshot and 6,031 of 6,031 in its June snapshot of 30 June 2026; every bedroom class has the 30 near-term quotes a price percentile needs, of 2,348 in all. How we count: see the method page.
