Beacon Hill average rent prices were sourced using 236 local Beacon Hill apartments that have either been rented in the last year or are currently available. The Real time vacancy rate was determined by taking the total number of currently available apartments plus units that will become available in the next few months, and dividing by the total number of apartments in that area. The latest population and average income data was pulled directly from the United States Census Bureau.
