Rent of primary residence in Miami area rose 10.1 percent over the year ended December 2023

The Consumer Price Index for rent of primary residence measures changes in the rent charged for tenant-occupied primary residences including any extra charges for garage and parking facilities. Rent of primary residence for all U.S. urban consumers rose 6.5 percent from December 2022 to December 2023, with the increases in Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, Florida (10.1 percent), and Urban Hawaii (9.8 percent) among the largest.

Among the areas with the smallest increases in rent of primary residence over the year ended December 2023 were Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV (2.9 percent), and San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, California (3.3 percent). These lower rates indicate that recent increases have been more modest than in other areas, not that rent levels are lower than other areas.
