Welcome to the January 2019 Daytona Beach Rent Report. Daytona Beach rents increased over the past month. In this report, we'll evaluate trends in the Daytona Beach rental market, including comparisons to cities throughout the state and nation.
Daytona Beach rents have remained flat over the past month, however, they have increased moderately by 2.1% year-over-year. Currently, median rents in Daytona Beach stand at $820 for a one-bedroom apartment and $1,020 for a two-bedroom. Daytona Beach's year-over-year rent growth leads the state average of 1.7%, as well as the national average of 0.9%.
Throughout the past year, rent increases have been occurring not just in the city of Daytona Beach, but across the entire state. Of the largest 10 cities that we have data for in Florida, 9 of them have seen prices rise. The state as a whole logged rent growth of 1.7% over the past year. Here's a look at how rents compare across some of the largest cities in the state.
As rents have increased moderately in Daytona Beach, a few large cities nationwide have also seen rents grow modestly. Daytona Beach is still more affordable than most large cities across the country.
Data from private listing sites, including our own, tends to skew toward luxury apartments, which introduces sample bias when estimates are calculated directly from these listings. To address these limitations, we’ve recently made major updates to our methodology, which we believe have greatly improved the accuracy and reliability of our estimates.
Read more about our new methodology below, or see a more detailed post here.
Apartment List is committed to making our rent estimates the best and most accurate available. To do this, we start with reliable median rent statistics from the Census Bureau, then extrapolate them forward to the current month using a growth rate calculated from our listing data. In doing so, we use a same-unit analysis similar to Case-Shiller’s approach, comparing only units that are available across both time periods to provide an accurate picture of rent growth in cities across the country.
Our approach corrects for the sample bias inherent in other private sources, producing results that are much closer to statistics published by the Census Bureau and HUD. Our methodology also allows us to construct a picture of rent growth over an extended period of time, with estimates that are updated each month.

Apartment List publishes monthly reports on rental trends for hundreds of cities across the U.S. We intend these reports to be a source of reliable information that help renters and policymakers make sound decisions, and we invest significant time and effort in gathering and analyzing rent data. Our work is covered regularly by journalists across the country.
We are continuously working to improve our methodology and data, with the goal of providing renters with the information that they need to make the best decisions.
