These Cities are Popular With Renters Right Now

Yet another entry has arrived in the ongoing effort to figure out where renters plan to move. This time it’s from RentCafe, which bases its results on its rental listing data for 150 U.S. cities. And the winner is —Minneapolis!

Each city is assigned a score that considers the availability of apartments, listing views, apartments saved as favorites, and personalized searches. Minneapolis won with a score of 100. It enjoyed a 159% increase in page views to put it in first place, a 39% hike in the number of people “favoriting” it, and a 139% boost in saved searches. It earned 45 points for availability – but, perhaps not surprisingly, availability dropped 26% year over year.
