Utilities are taking a smaller share of multifamily rent.
Using American Community Survey microdata, tenant-paid utilities accounted for roughly 11–12% of multifamily rent in the mid-2000s. Today, that share is closer to 9%.
Cheaper energy, strong rent growth in the 2010s, and more efficient buildings all helped push the ratio down.
