Swipe the table sideways for more columns. An empty cell means we do not hold that figure for the market; we never estimate a missing number. Typical 4BR value is a county-wide Zillow value, not a list price. FEMA risk is county level.

See them all on the interactive map

Every market here is a pin on the National STR Map, with overlays for revenue, yield, regulation, home prices and tourism.

Sources and method

  • Revenue and regulation ratings: STR Agent HUB market analytics and regulation research.
  • Home values: Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI), county level. Data provided by Zillow Group.
  • Natural hazard risk: FEMA National Risk Index, county level.
  • Demand drivers: counted within 50 miles of each market; every driver links its own source in the market report.

Figures come from the STR HUB national dataset dated September 21, 2026. Screening data only: not investment, legal or tax advice. Confirm rules with the jurisdiction and a licensed local agent.
