Score a specific San Diego address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
San Diego's ADR rises 82% from Sep ($218) to Jul ($396), but occupancy rises 1.5× 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.
