During that time , Airbnb said that 151,000 guests stayed in one of 2,900 Seattle-based Airbnb locations and generated $178 million in “total economic activity,” which includes direct, indirect, and induced spending. The company reported that $30 million went to local Seattle hosts and “Seattle businesses benefitted from $108 million in direct spending.”
Other findings:
The typical Airbnb host in Seattle earns $8,000 per year, renting out their space for an average of 79 nights per year. “This modest, yet significant amount of income has helped more than half of hosts — 60 percent — stay in their homes,” Airbnb noted.
On average, an Airbnb guest spends $945 per trip, with $526 spent in the neighborhood in which they are staying.
The average Airbnb host in Seattle is 45 years old. About 33% of them earn less than $75,000 per year in household income.
About 67% of hosts rent their entire home or apartment; 30% rent a private room; 3% rent a shared room.
About 80% of hosts rent out their primary residence and 10% rent out their secondary residence.
Today’s report follows a separate study that Airbnb released last month showing 60 percent of hosts who claim that Airbnb lets them afford to stay in their homes. In that study, Airbnb also noted that half of its home listings in Seattle are rented on a short-term basis for less than 30 days per year, while 80 percent are rented short-term for less than 90 days per year.
