The honest read

Florida ranks #5 of 37 coverage-eligible states for rental investing, with a median Overall of 55/100 across its ranked cities, above the national median. 226 ranked cities roll up into this grade. Its strongest factor is income growth: 6.1%, 5th of 51, backed by population growth (7th).

The biggest drag is rent growth: 3.3%, 45th of 51. A state grade is the median of its ranked cities, a screen for where to look, not underwriting. Open any city below for its full shown-math breakdown, or run a specific deal through the cap rate and cash-flow calculators.

Where it ranks, factor by factor

Every value is the median across the 226 ranked cities in this state. The national rank compares all 51 states on that one factor; the engine already flips inverted factors (affordability, low unemployment) so a better rank always means a better market. Each factor sits in one of the model’s three categories (Cash Flow, Growth, or Stability); this is a representative summary, and the full thirteen-factor breakdown is on each city’s page.

ZIP markets in Florida

1,013 Census ZIP Codes (ZCTAs) in Florida · 815 data-eligible for subscores. These are sub-city government areas ranked separately from the Florida city table. The overall Rental Investor ZIP Score leaderboard leads; the two component subscores (affordability, rental-market context) follow as independent percentiles. ZIP ranks are shown within the ZIP universe only, never mixed with, and not directly comparable to, city ranks. Vintage: the Key metric column is Census ACS 2020–2024 (5-year), the same release the city table above uses; the geographies differ, so the same measure can still disagree between the two.

Best overall ZIP Codes in Florida

Ranked by the overall Rental Investor ZIP Score. The # is each ZIP Code's canonical FL state rank; the smaller figure is its national rank. Separate from the Florida city table and not directly comparable to it.
