South Florida Airbnb hosts made $315 million in 2018 and took in a total of 1.47 million guests, according to Airbnb.
The home-sharing company announced on Tuesday that there are now more than 45,000 Floridian hosts who share their homes through Airbnb, each earning an average of $6,500 annually in supplemental income.
Miami-Dade County hosts on Airbnb made $204 million with 954,000 guests; Broward County made $80.3 million with 406,000 guests; and Palm Beach County made $30.6 million with 126,000 guests, according to Airbnb.
Overall, the tri-county area of South Florida made up 38 percent of the $810 million in income that Florida hosts made in 2018.
The company’s announcement comes shortly after it filed suit against Miami Beach over the city’s ordinance regulating short-term rental properties. The ordinance requires Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms to post listings for Miami Beach properties only if the listings include proof that the properties are registered with the city.
The home-sharing company said it is seeing a rise in demand at the same time hotels are seeing an increase in occupancy and growth. — Keith Larsen
