Temple rental market data
A data-backed Temple rental market report for landlords and rental property owners, combining rent trends, active listing context, and ZIP-level rental data.
This report combines citywide rent movement, current leasing activity, and neighborhood-level rental signals. The sources measure different slices of the market, so the page uses them together for context rather than treating any one number as a guaranteed property rent.
The metro index ended at $1,337 in July 2026, down 0.7% year over year and up 0.6% from the same month three years earlier.

ZIP-level rental data is useful for property-type splits, bedroom splits, rent per square foot, and listing-count context. For Temple, it helps explain why a citywide number should not replace submarket comps.

Temple demand can come from healthcare, VA services, logistics, manufacturing, Temple College, family renters, and nearby military-adjacent movement. The best renter profile depends on the property.
ZIP-level rental metrics help show property type, bedroom count, rent per square foot, listing counts, and days on market in a way citywide trend data cannot.
