What this counts
Cash investor parcels, in plain words
A first cut at rent against price for a cash buy: homes the county values at $150,000 or more where a year of the census tract’s median rent comes to 8% to 15% of the county’s value. The rent is the area’s median for rented homes (for homes with the same number of bedrooms where Boulder County’s building file gives the count and the survey publishes one), from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 2020–2024: never this house’s rent, and each card says so. Above 15% the county value is seldom a market price (a deed-restricted home, a partial interest) or the area’s rent does not describe the home, so those are left out. Highest share first. Every county in the hunt with county values.
