What it means for a host

Hosts priced at or below $47 are sitting at the floor of the market, while anything above $61 puts a car in the top quarter. The Volkswagen Tiguan and Nissan Kicks lead in supply count with median rates of $47 and $46 respectively, so those models face the most direct price competition near the bottom of the band. Nissan Pathfinders command a median of $73 and Jeep Wranglers $68, both well above the typical band, which shows guests will pay a premium for certain models. San Diego comes in $2 above the national class median of $51 and sits $5 below San Francisco, $3 below New York, and $2 below Dallas, so there's room to test rates closer to the upper end of the band without stepping far outside peer markets.
