Frequently asked questions

How do county rent estimates compare across Iowa?

The table ranks every county in Iowa by median gross rent. Open one to see the per-bedroom median, the margin of error, and how it changed year over year.

What does the margin of error mean on these county rents?

The Census Bureau publishes a margin of error with every estimate. It reflects how confident we can be that the true median sits near the published number — small for populous counties, wider for rural ones. Treat each county figure as the center of a range, not an exact price.
