Cities with the highest rents in China reflect tight housing markets where demand significantly exceeds supply. Jiuxiangling leads with a median rent of $350 per month.

The rent burden in these cities can be significant, with many residents spending more than 30% of their income on housing. This has fueled discussions about rent control, affordable housing development, and tenant protections in many of these communities.
