Market Context

Who rents in Greensboro NC, and what they pay

Tracked one-bedroom rent in Greensboro NC averages $1,677/mo, with two-bedroom units averaging $2,017/mo. At the local median household income of $58,884, that works out to 37% of gross income — above the 30 percent affordability ceiling — a stretched-budget market.

The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2023 release pegged median gross rent in Greensboro NC at $1,114/mo. The current tracked market average runs 61% higher than that benchmark, reflecting both two to three years of rent growth and the fact that the Census figure covers all renter-occupied housing in Greensboro NC while the tracked market average covers units currently listed in larger apartment communities.

Methodology

† Rent data is sourced directly from each tracked apartment community and refreshed every 24 hours. Every listed unit price on this page is real and listed today.

Cost of living estimates for utilities, groceries, transportation, healthcare, and other goods and services combine national consumer-spending baselines from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (Consumer Expenditure Survey) with the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis Regional Price Parities (MARPP dataset). Both are peer-reviewed federal data releases published annually.

Salary to live comfortably applies the standard 25 to 30 percent rent-to-income rule on top of the listed rent. This is the same affordability guideline used by most landlords and credit-scoring models.

Demographic figures (median household income, population, median age, commute time, Census median rent, rent as percentage of income) come from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-year estimates, the most recent complete release.

Cost of living and demographic figures were last published in 2023.
