A middling-yield market. Neither rent nor appreciation makes the case on its own.
What would change this read: a price correction (median already +25.0% YoY) or rent growth lifting rent-to-price toward 0.8%/mo would move this ZIP toward a cash-flow story. inventory, −19.8% YoY, is the number to watch.
The median listing price is up 25.0% YoY while the median home got up 0.5% bigger, so value per square foot is up 9.0%.
Min/max come from the active-listing pool; the median comes from Realtor's separate listing set — the two are not subsets of each other, so the median's position relative to the tiles above should not be read literally.
At the median, a $175K purchase rents for $1,150/mo: 0.66% of price per month against the 1% rule's 1.00%.
Not shown: 1 BR (rent only, no matching sale price), 5 BR (sale only, no matching rent).

Higher or lower is not itself good or bad — it describes the neighborhood, not the investment.
ZIP-level figures come from ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate but do not exactly match USPS ZIP codes. A missing value is suppressed or unavailable at this sample size, not zero. Estimates for 2019–2020 use the 2010 ZCTA boundaries and 2021–2024 the 2020 ones, so a step between those two years may be a boundary change rather than real movement.
