U.S. Census Bureau data (2024)
The classification of ZIP code 65777 hinges upon the analysis of yield potential and market stability, using the available data points. The Fair Market Rent (FMR) for the metro area in fiscal year 2026 is $950, which provides a benchmark for rental yields in the region. However, the lack of specific market rent and home value data for ZIP 65777 introduces uncertainty into the yield assessment.
On the stability axis, we observe that 45.3% of residents are renters, indicating a moderate reliance on rental housing. Without the average days on market (DOM) and median income figures, it's challenging to gauge the financial health and transactional speed of the local market.
Given the $950 FMR against an unspecified market rent, and considering the absence of home value data, ZIP 65777 cannot be definitively labeled as either a high-yield or low-stability market. It lacks the critical information needed to compare against typical flip-style markets, where rapid turnover and higher rents relative to home values are key indicators. Similarly, the absence of income and DOM data precludes a clear determination of whether the area offers steady cash flow, which is characteristic of stable investment zones.
To make a precise call, we would need additional data such as the actual market rent to compare against the FMR, median home values to assess the potential for property appreciation, and median income levels to understand the financial capacity of the local population. Until these figures are known, ZIP 65777 stands as a market with potential but undefined characteristics, neither clearly fitting into the high-yield/low-stability category nor the steady-cashflow zone.
