  • Airbnb and D.C.'S East of the River Communities
    REPORT | 06 AUGUST 2018 Airbnb and D.C.’s East of the River Communities Airbnb hosts at Anacostia Arts Center (September 8, 2017) Home Sharing: Creating $3.75 Million in Supplemental Income for Ward 7 and Ward 8 Families TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 03 WARD 7 & WARD 8 HOST STORIES 04 HOST INCOME 06 GUEST ARRIVALS 07 SMALL BUSINESSES 08 METHODOLOGY The data used in this report about the Airbnb platform -- specifically guest arrivals, guest city of origin, and host earnings -- are all based on Airbnb internal data for the District of Columbia, and communities located east of the Anacostia River between June 1, 2017 and May 31, 2018. 2 INTRODUCTION The District of Columbia, home to dozens of unique neighborhoods, is also one of the country’s top destinations for tourism, historical sightseeing and major cultural events. Airbnb makes it possible for visitors from around the world to experience the nation’s capital as Washingtonians do — by staying local. Of the over 130 hotels operating across D.C., zero of these properties are located east of the ​ ​ Anacostia River in Ward 7 or Ward 8. In comparison to other parts of the District, areas east of ​ the Anacostia River have historically experienced limited opportunities to attract tourists. As a result ​ of home sharing, these culturally diverse communities — which do not typically benefit from traditional tourism dollars because of the lack of hotels — are now experiencing more visitors and seeing an important economic lift. Airbnb income that is generated east of the Anacostia River positively impacts everyone from the ​ local shop owner to long-time and native Washingtonians.
