How these numbers are built

  • Where the data comes from: saved RentalNoodle warehouse slices (our own rental-listing samples, plus Census ACS home values when those were stored). Panning the map does not pull live paid sale feeds.
  • What we calculate: For each saved map area we take the median rent from rental listings stored in our warehouse, then estimate gross yield as (12 × that rent) ÷ a home-value figure × 100. When a Census ACS median home value is on file we show a Census-based yield; when sale-listing medians exist we also show a listing-based yield. We do not buy live sale feeds for map pans, so Census or sale values may be blank. These are before vacancy, taxes, insurance, repairs, and financing — not net return and not advice.
  • What this is not: not NOI, cash-on-cash, or after-tax return — and not financial advice.
  • Coverage: only labeled, populated snapshots appear in the table. A missing metro means we lack a usable stored snapshot, not that the market is weak.
