Rents by town
Each circle is a town. Size shows how many listings are active; color shows the median asking rent for your selection. Tap a circle for details.
Rent by bedroom count
The orange line is the median. The teal band covers the middle half of listings (25th to 75th percentile).
Town by town
Median asking rent, with the number of active listings underneath. We only show a median when a town has at least 5 listings in that size. Tap a town to focus the page on it.
Want a rent range for a specific property?
The index shows the market. A rent comp shows your property: we pull 6 to 12 active listings that match it on bedrooms, baths and size, and give you a low, mid and high rent range.

How the index works
On the 1st and 15th of each month we collect active long-term rental listings in every town in Cumberland and York counties from Zillow, Zumper, Realtor.com and Apartments.com. A unit listed on more than one site is counted once. Furnished and short-term listings are left out where the listing says so.
Rents shown are asking rents on listings that are live today, not signed leases, and they're rounded to the nearest $25. A median is the middle listing: half ask more, half ask less. Small towns can have only a few listings in a size, so we hide medians based on fewer than 5 listings and their numbers can move a lot between updates.
