The honest read

Florida ranks #4 of 51 states for rental investing, with a median Overall of 58.8/100 across its ranked cities, above the national median. 112 ranked cities roll up into this grade.

A state grade is the median of its ranked cities, a screen for where to look, not underwriting. Open any city below for its full shown-math breakdown, or run a specific deal through the cap rate and cash-flow calculators.

Where it ranks, factor by factor

Every value is the median across the 112 ranked cities in this state. The national rank compares all 51 states on that one factor; the engine already flips inverted factors (affordability, low unemployment) so a better rank always means a better market. Each factor sits in one of the model’s three categories (Cash Flow, Growth, or Stability); this is a representative summary, and the full thirteen-factor breakdown is on each city’s page. Full methodology.

ZIP markets in Florida

1,013 Census ZIP Codes (ZCTAs) in Florida · 815 data-eligible for subscores. These are sub-city government areas ranked separately from the Florida city table. The overall Rental Investor ZIP Score leaderboard leads; the two component subscores (affordability, rental-market context) follow as independent percentiles. ZIP ranks are shown within the ZIP universe only, never mixed with, and not directly comparable to, city ranks. Vintage: the Key metric column is Census ACS 2020–2024 (5-year), a newer release than the ACS 2019–2023 figures the city table above uses; the same measure can legitimately disagree between the two.
