STR Density이란 무엇인가요?

STR density refers to how many short-term rental listings exist within a defined geographic area relative to the total housing stock. It is a key metric for understanding how heavily a neighborhood or building is affected by short-term rental activity.

High STR density means that a large share of the available housing in an area is being used for short-term guest accommodation rather than long-term residential living. This can happen gradually as property owners discover they can earn more from nightly rentals than from traditional tenants.

Why It Matters When Choosing Where to Live

Areas with high STR density often exhibit characteristics that are undesirable for long-term residents: increased noise, reduced parking availability, strained building amenities, and a transient population that has little stake in the community. In extreme cases, entire apartment complexes can feel more like hotels than homes.

STR density also affects rental prices. When landlords remove units from the long-term market to list them as short-term rentals, the remaining supply of long-term housing decreases, often driving up rents for traditional tenants.
