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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yield | 25% | 100 | 25.00 |

Ratios (Yield, Occupancy, Population) are normalized as ratio × 66.7 and capped at 150% to prevent outlier skew. Regulation is a direct 0–100 rubric.

Why Oak Park Is One of Michigan's Best Vacation Rental Markets
Oak Park carries a market score of 91 — exceptional tier — with a gross yield of 9.65%, 3.6 points above Michigan's 6.1% state yield. Typical home value (Zillow index) runs about $365,000, and 36 active listings serve a catchment of about 5.8 million people within an hour, 10.4 million within two hours, and 19.3 million within three hours, anchored near Detroit.
Market-wide averages across every listing — most of them self-managed by owner-operators, without professional pricing or multi-channel distribution — put the average listing at about $35,000 a year, the top quartile at about $47,000, and the top tenth at about $63,000. ROAM brings dynamic pricing, multi-channel distribution, and professional operations to every property it manages.
No permit is required to operate in Oak Park, regulation status is friendly, and the state's 6% use tax applies to stays under 30 days. For full-service vacation rental management in Oak Park, an option positioned as Michigan's data-driven alternative to Vacasa and Evolve, or to see how Oak Park fits within Oakland County, start with a revenue assessment.
Best Times to Rent Your Oak Park Vacation Property
July delivers Oak Park's highest revenue of the year; February is the low point. Peak-month revenue runs about 1.84 times February's — a real seasonal swing rather than a steady year-round pattern. That gap calls for shoulder-season pricing that moves with demand rather than staying fixed across summer and winter alike. ROAM's approach adjusts pricing throughout the year to track that curve rather than setting a rate once and leaving it.
