Quarterly average across active listings
Score a specific Chicago address against revenue, occupancy, and yield benchmarks.
Chicago's ADR rises 66% from Jan ($144) to Jun ($239), but occupancy rises 3.2× 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.
