Posted rates are asking prices, not occupancy or net income. The main swing factors are occupancy, contract length with employers, services (meals, housekeeping, laundry), utilities, and what the units are worth when demand moves on.
Rooms vs. pads
Pads cost less to build and rent for less, and workers must bring an RV. Crew units rent by the room to employers and can be moved to the next job. Many operators mix both. See man camp vs. RV park and what a bed costs to own.
