DMV · ZIP-level
Monthly ZIP-level rent trends from Zillow's rent index. This shows the broader market direction, not live prices for a specific building. See actual building rents →
Honest about what this is
Use this map to see whether a ZIP is trending up or down. Use the rent prices page when you need actual asking rents for individual apartment buildings.
How the math works
Month-over-month is the quickest read. Quarter-over-quarter is steadier. Year-over-year is the cleanest long view. All three use the same monthly Zillow rent index.
Where the data comes from
Observed-rent trends from Zillow Observed Rent Index, refreshed when Zillow publishes its monthly research CSVs. ZIP polygons from the US Census Bureau’s TIGER/Line 2020 ZCTA file. Basemap from OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap contributors.
