Full model, coverage & limitations

U.S. ZIP Codes here are U.S. Census ZCTAs (statistical approximations of USPS ZIP delivery areas). Every ZIP figure is a government U.S. Census ACS 2024 5-year estimate. Each eligible ZIP Code gets an overall Rental Investor ZIP Score and A–F grade from four categories (cash flow & affordability, local demand & market quality, surrounding-market growth [county/place context, clearly labeled], and stability & risk), plus two independent component subscores. Not a return forecast, and not directly comparable to the city score. No listing, parcel, school, or vendor data; not investment advice. The Rank column below is the canonical national rank, or the within-state rank when you filter by a state, and stays fixed to the Overall score no matter how you sort. How this score works →
