Missouri Airbnb hosts collectively earn $29 million in 2017

Missouri Airbnb hosts collectively earn $29 million in 2017

Home sharing service Airbnb says its Missouri hosts have earned a combined $28.8 million in supplemental income while opening up their households to about 289,000 guests in 2017. According to the company, the 289,000 Missouri guest arrivals represents a 126% year-over-year growth. The state’s rural areas experienced some of the fastest Airbnb guest growth of any state in the nation.

There are currently about 6,300 Missourians adding to their income to help make ends meet by sharing their homes via Airbnb, over one-third of whom share an extra, unused room. The hosts typically earn about $5,300 annually.

August’s total solar eclipse created a significant demand for lodging, including hotels and home sharing in cities like St. Joseph, St. Louis, Columbia. Airbnb also provides additional lodging options for family and friends visiting during university graduation weekends.
