Overview of Findings
Apartment List has released Provo’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.
"Provo renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "They gave most categories above average scores."
Key Findings in Provo include the following:
- Provo renters gave their city an A- overall.
- The highest-rated categories for Provo were affordability, state and local taxes, social life and recreational activities, which all received grades of A+.
- The areas of concern to Provo renters are pet-friendliness and jobs and career opportunities, which received C and B+ scores, respectively.
- Provo did relatively well compared to other cities nationwide, including Salt Lake City (C+), Los Angeles (C+) and Jacksonville (B-).
- The top rated cities nationwide for renter satisfaction include Scottsdale, AZ, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI. The lowest rated cities include Tallahassee, FL, Stockton, CA, Dayton, OH, Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.
