Let’s shift gears back to the world of single family today, and take a look at the top markets in our proprietary Single Family Market Fundamentals Demographic Subscore rankings. 

Those who read our blog regularly as well as our newsletter subscribers are familiar with how we derive our Market Fundamental Scores; a number of metrics are considered in five different sub-categories and then totaled using a particular algorithm to derive the total score. 

One of the five sub-categories is the Demographics category.  In this category we consider market and MSA size, growth rates over the past decade and projected into the future, population by demographic age banding, median age, male / female ratios, as well as racial composition and socioeconomic factors in the population, among other things.  The algorithm scores the data uniquely considering the perspectives of single family investors as opposed to multifamily investors and homeowners. 

Texas makes a very impressive showing in today’s rankings.
