View Dallas market analysis →The Surge Take: Duncanville
Duncanville scores 57.9/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #43 of 55 Dallas-area submarkets we track. That's in the lower tier of the Dallas market on our score, which usually reflects thinner guest demand. Deals here need to be underwritten conservatively — the entry price has to do the heavy lifting. The average listing here grosses $33,477/year — about 32% below the Dallas metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $193 average daily rate at 53% occupancy (RevPAR $92). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.
The key caveat is regulation: Duncanville restricts short-term rentals — STRs require a Specific Use Permit (SUP) in single-family zones; no standalone STR ordinance. Parcel-level due diligence is essential here; confirm the specific property is eligible before underwriting STR income.

STRs require a Specific Use Permit (SUP) in single-family zones; no standalone STR ordinance
Duncanville's zoning code allows STRs in single-family residential districts only with a Specific Use Permit (SUP), as confirmed by June 2025 Planning & Zoning Commission meetings actively processing individual SUP cases. There is no standalone STR registration ordinance; each property must go through the zoning SUP process with P&Z Commission review and City Council approval. The city collects a Hotel Occupancy Tax (exact city rate not confirmed in research; expected 7% per state eligibility). State HOT is 6%.
