Methodology & sources

How the DSCR city score works

score (0-100) = 60 x min(rent_to_price / 0.0090, 1) + 25 x min(max(yoy_rent_growth, 0) / 5.0, 1) + 15 x clamp((2.80 - property_tax_pct) / 2.00, 0, 1). Rent-to-price (monthly rent / median price) is the dominant factor because it drives the DSCR ratio lenders underwrite to; rent growth rewards momentum; the tax term rewards low carrying costs. A rent-to-price of 0.90%+ ('the 1% rule neighborhood') maxes the first term. All figures are metro-level estimates assembled from public market data (Zillow ZHVI/ZORI-style medians, Census, county tax rates) and are illustrative — verify before underwriting any deal. See UPDATE_DATA.md for the refresh playbook.

How the STR market score works

score (0-100) = 60 x min(gross_yield / 0.20, 1) + 25 x min(occupancy_pct / 65, 1) + regulation bonus (low: +15, medium: +7, high: +0). gross_yield = ADR x 365 x occupancy / median_price — the rawest measure of how hard a dollar of purchase price works in a market. Occupancy rewards demand depth (markets that fill mid-week, not just holiday weekends). The regulation term penalizes markets where permit caps, moratoriums, or zoning fights threaten the business model. ADR/occupancy figures are market-level estimates in the spirit of AirDNA/Key Data public reports; all numbers are illustrative — pull a rentalizer-style comp report before underwriting. See UPDATE_DATA.md for the refresh playbook.

Where the rates come from

The 10-year Treasury yield is pulled live from the U.S. Treasury's daily yield curve feed (treasury.gov) and cached for six hours. Spreads are ILLUSTRATIVE market-typical ranges over the 10-year Treasury yield, not lender quotes. DSCR rates commonly price 225-375bps over the 10Y depending on LTV, DSCR ratio, credit, prepay structure, and property type. STR/vacation-rental DSCR loans typically carry a 25-50bps premium. ten_year_fallback is the last manually verified 10Y close, used only when the live treasury.gov feed is unreachable.
