Risk Level Classifications:
Low Risk (Under 15% Rentals) Communities with rental percentages below 15% typically maintain stable property values and manageable operating costs. These communities should focus on monitoring and establishing baseline policies.
Medium Risk (15-39% Rentals)
Communities in this range should implement proactive measures to prevent further increases. Consider rental caps, approval processes, or enhanced screening requirements.
High Risk (40%+ Rentals) Communities with rental percentages above 40% often experience significant challenges including declining property values, increased maintenance costs, and difficulty obtaining financing. Immediate intervention is typically recommended.
