Cincinnati Leads the Nation in Rent Increases

Cincinnati holds the unfortunate title of having the nation's highest rent increases. Zillow reports a staggering 7.9% jump in rent from May 2022 to May 2023, surpassing even major coastal cities.

Experts point to a shortage of housing units as a key factor. While the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association claims they're not driving up prices, they acknowledge a significant demand exceeding supply. Tenant advocates argue for local solutions to address this growing affordability crisis.
