Market performance

Renter household growth statistics

2 tenures is the direct numeric answer for this source review. Census tenure tables divide occupied housing into two categories: owner occupied and renter occupied. Tracking renter households, rather than renter population alone, gives leasing teams a cleaner demand denominator because one household can contain several people.

Operations

Security deposit process data

50 states is the direct numeric answer for this source review. Security deposit limits, holding rules, deductions, notices, and return deadlines are set largely by state and local law. A national dashboard should therefore measure compliance against the rule attached to each tenancy, not invent one deadline for every property.

Tenant screening data quality statistics
