Quarterly average across active listings
Score a specific Indianapolis address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
Indianapolis's ADR rises 45% from Sep ($137) to May ($199), but occupancy rises 2.2× 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.
