Est. = the midpoint of the one-bed range from the outskirts (min) to the centre (max), euro/month. Cities badged "thin data" (22 of 29) have no stable community figure; they show a broad tier estimate rather than an observation of the actual market. 7 cities carry a community anchor or OMI zone-logic figure.

National median: a one-bed at €450-950/mo
The median one-bed across our 29 cities is about €450-950 a month (outskirts to centre), with a midpoint of ~€700. The spread is huge: between the cheapest (Bari, ~€525) and the dearest (Como, ~€1200) the gap is nearly 2.3x. Treat it as a guide, not a price list: the real number depends on the neighbourhood, the state of the flat, the season and whether you find "your" agent.
Methodology
- Each range is euro/month and carries an explicit source: "community" (anonymized messages from the Russian-speaking community in Italy over 2024-2026), "OMI zone logic" (a range derived from a community anchor via the Agenzia delle Entrate Osservatorio del Mercato Immobiliare zones: centre > semi-centre > periphery), "ISTAT reference", and "national typical" (a broad tier estimate where no precise city figure exists).
- The one-bed estimate in the ranking = the midpoint of the range from the outskirts (min) to the centre (max). Cities flagged "thin data" (22 of 29) sit on a broad tier estimate rather than an observation of the real market - treat them with extra caution.
- This is NOT official rent statistics: the figures come from personal stories and open references across different years, are noisy, and may not match your case. Prices move - check current listings on idealista.it, immobiliare.it, in local chats and with agencies.
- The index is refreshed quarterly; this is the Q3 2026 edition, with data as of 2026-09-02. Ranges live in an editable data file, not hard-coded on the page.
