UDR, Inc. dividend income comes from one of the largest multifamily REITs in the United States, owning or partially owning over 51,000 apartment homes across key U.S. markets. The current yield sits at 4.36%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.5850 per share paid monthly. The next ex-dividend date is September 15, 2026. A beta of 0.685 means UDR stock moves less than the broader market, which suits income-focused investors who prioritize lower price volatility alongside yield.
UDR, Inc. pays out dividends as a REIT structure, making the payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF) in conventional earnings-based terms. UDR, Inc. dividend safety is supported by the company's core business: managing, acquiring, and developing apartment homes in high-demand U.S. markets, a business model built on recurring monthly rent from over 51,000 units. The most significant pressure point is that REIT dividends depend heavily on occupancy rates and rental income, neither of which is guaranteed to hold at any specific level.
UDR, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 5.9% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $0.7700 to $1.7150 over that period (2026 data is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 1.2% in 2025, which shows growth has slowed at the recent end of the streak.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +4.5% | $1.50 (2022) | $1.72 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +3.8% | $1.42 (2020) | $1.72 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +4.6% | $1.09 (2015) | $1.72 (2025) |
UDR, Inc. fits income-focused investors who want above-average yield from a large-scale residential real estate business. The yield is classified as high (above 4%), and at 4.36% it sits just below the 5-year average of 4.4%, meaning current pricing offers near-historical-average income. Sixteen consecutive years of dividend increases add a degree of reliability to that income stream. The trade-off is that growth has decelerated, with the most recent annual increase coming in at just 1.2%. An investor in UDR stock gets meaningful current income and a long increase streak, but not fast dividend growth.
