Quick Glance: Majority of Seattle-area Renters Report Significant Rent Increases in Past 12 Months
  • While rents in the Seattle area and nationally surged in the early pandemic years, the rental market seems to have calmed since 2023, providing some relief to local tenants.

  • However, recent survey data from the US Census Bureau suggests that the majority of renters in the Seattle area may not agree with these reports.

  • Out of the estimated 658,000 individuals who experienced rent hikes, approximately 113,000 had a relatively minor increase of under $100. A significantly larger group - around 306,000 - saw their rent rise between $100 and $249 per month.

  • Established in 2020 as a response to the pandemic, the initiative aimed to inform authorities and policymakers about the pandemic's effects on communities nationwide and offer data to support recovery post-pandemic.
