Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Iowa

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median monthly rents across Iowa predominantly fall in the $500–$750 range, with the darkest purple tones covering much of the rural interior, particularly in southern and north-central counties. Higher rent clusters in the $1,000–$1,500 range emerge around the Des Moines metro area in the south-central region, the Iowa City–Cedar Rapids corridor in the east-central portion, and scattered zip codes near Sioux City in the northwest. The gray areas lacking data are dispersed throughout the state, likely corresponding to sparsely populated rural zip codes with insufficient rental housing stock for reliable estimates.
