Apartment Data and Rental Housing Trends

At Rent Jungle, we're constantly gathering apartment & rental-house listings from thousands of online sources. But once the listings disappear, we don't just discard the data -- we hold on to the data, and this lets us do a variety of interesting things with it:

Compare Your Rent

Our Compare Your Rent tool lets apartment and rental house hunters compare their current (or potential) rent with what others are paying in their neighborhood.

Deeper Analysis - Housing Rental Data & Trends

At Rent Jungle, we are constantly mining the web for rental listings, collecting thousands of unique for-rent ads every day. In the past year alone, we've geocoded and archived almost 10 million unique for-rent ads across thousands of different web sites, capturing well over 80% of all U.S. rental housing listings on the internet.

Bond / Securitized Asset Performance

• Rental trends for underlying assets that make up specific debt securities

Channel / Advertiser Performance

Geographic Trends

• Percentage of buildings with rent moving up vs. down for any given area -- right down to __ mile(s) from a given address
• Vacancy index, using current number of listings in a market compared to the average or maximum for that market
• Measures of economic healthy by region

Correlation with Other Data Indexes

We can provide our data in a variety of formats, from periodic reports to real-time XML feeds accessible via our data API.
