How this is measured

Nights measured in Santa Cruz (CA): 70, from 14 November 2026 to 22 January 2027; each with at least 30 places showing a price.

  • Places: every place shown with a name and a price in one-night searches on a hotel search site (Agoda): hotels and the guesthouses, B&Bs and apartments listed there; rental-only listings are not in this list.
  • A place's price is the median of its asking prices over the nights it showed one; the figure in the first sentence is the middle of those place medians, so each place counts once, however many nights it showed.
  • Cheapest and priciest: only places priced on at least 24 of the 70 nights (a third of them, and never fewer than 5).
  • Prices in USD, as shown on the day each night was read; nights read on 25 October 2026.
  • Asking prices seen while searching for one night: not prices paid, and not a forecast.
