Each of the six inputs below is normalized to a 0–100 scale, multiplied by its weight, and summed. Weights are fixed across all ROAM markets so scores are directly comparable. The score reflects market fundamentals — ROAM's own performance is surfaced separately on the cards below.
| Input | Weight | 0–100 | Points |
|---|---|---|---|

Typical home value (Zillow index) runs about $271,000, and 42 active listings operate in the market. That local count sits inside a wide catchment: about 1,645,000 people within an hour of Keeler Township, roughly 15,000,000 within two hours, and about 25,600,000 within three, with South Bend as the nearest metro.

Best Times to Rent Your Keeler Township Vacation Property
Keeler Township's revenue swings sharply across the year: July revenue runs about 2.31 times April's, the trough month. That's a wide peak-to-trough spread, and pricing that doesn't adjust from spring into summer misses the shape of that swing. Shoulder-season months — the weeks bridging April's trough and July's peak — call for rates that respond to the calendar rather than hold steady. ROAM's approach builds that responsiveness into pricing across the season, adjusting rates as demand shifts instead of setting one number and leaving it.
