An appreciation-lean market without the demand pressure to back it. The rent math runs thin.
What would change this read: a price correction (median already −2.3% YoY) or rent growth lifting rent-to-price toward 0.8%/mo would move this ZIP toward a cash-flow story. inventory, +16.8% YoY, is the number to watch.
The median listing price is down 2.3% YoY while the median home got down 3.8% bigger, so value per square foot is up 2.7%.
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 $323K purchase rents for $1,095/mo: 0.34% of price per month against the 1% rule's 1.00%.

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.
