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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median monthly rents in the Philadelphia metro exhibit a clear core-periphery inversion, with many zip codes within Philadelphia proper—particularly in North and West Philadelphia—falling below $1,000, while suburban areas in Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties consistently range from $1,500 to $2,000+. The highest rents, exceeding $2,500, cluster in a few specific zip codes in the northern suburbs and along the Main Line corridor west of the city, as well as in select Center City-adjacent areas. Camden and Chester stand out as lower-rent nodes on the New Jersey and Delaware County sides respectively, contrasting sharply with the affluent suburban ring surrounding them.
