Methodology
How this report is built
Figures are median asking rents by city. Where Rentdigi has enough recent active listings, the number is computed live; otherwise it falls back to authoritative reference data, clearly attributed. We never rank across currencies.
- Blended — Rentdigi listings weighted with a reference baseline.
- CMHC Rental Market Report — Canadian metros (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation).
- Rentdigi — live median of recent active listings.
- HUD Fair Market Rents (FY2024) — U.S. metros (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development).
