The pandemic had an impact on rent prices in major cities and neighborhoods across the U.S. To quantify the impact, we’re focusing attention on some of the major cities and neighborhoods in the U.S. We will be presenting our findings in a series of year-over-year neighborhood snapshots.
 

The subject of today’s snapshot is Jacksonville, FL. Based on our analysis, Jacksonville year-over-year average rents have increased across one, two, and three-bedroom units.

Our standard City analysis uses a 12-month LookBack” to establish an average baseline rent. The 12-month LookBack analyzes the rent data from the last 12-months, and for this analysis, the rent data included would be from May 1, 2020 – May 1, 2021.


The results from the 12-month LookBack analysis are presented in the table below:

 


As the table shows, 1BR units increased by 7% from last year or $64 more. While the 2BR increased by 10% or $107 more, and the 3BR units increased their rents by 18% or $210 more. As demonstrated by the table, year-over-year performance increased across all rental units in Jacksonville, FL.
