Quarterly average across active listings
Score a specific Houston address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
Houston's ADR rises 85% from Sep ($124) to Jun ($229), but occupancy rises 1.7× in the same window. The revenue lever here is occupancy capture, not pricing — set rates competitively in shoulder months to maximize summer bookings, then push ADR aggressively in peak months when demand is inelastic.

Houston is primarily a drive market — demand is regional and less exposed to airline disruptions or fuel-price spikes, which supports more stable occupancy year-round.
