BUFFALO, N.Y. — Niagara County residents who rent out their home or room with Airbnb made an average of $11,300 in 2018, according to Airbnb.
That was the most in Western New York. Here are the numbers for Erie, Cattaraugus, Allegany, and Chautauqua counties:

- Chautauqua - $3,400

Joseph Galvin said this has been the most successful year since he started doing Airbnb three years ago.
"I'm making more renting it out as an Airbnb than I was when it was just an apartment."

Airbnb takes up to 20% in service fees.
