How the ROAM Market Score is calculated
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 |
| Occupancy | 20% | 56 | 11.20 |

| Plymouth Total | 90 | ||
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.

Tiers: 90+ Exceptional · 75–89 Strong · 60–74 Solid · 40–59 Challenging · 0–39 Poor.

Best Times to Rent Your Plymouth Vacation Property
Plymouth's peak month is July; the trough is April, with July revenue running about 2.36 times April's. That's a wide swing between the strongest and weakest months of the year, and it's a revenue ratio — not a nightly-rate figure on its own. Flat, year-round pricing doesn't fit a curve like that; the shoulder months around April call for pricing that adjusts with demand instead of staying fixed all season. ROAM's approach applies dynamic pricing across the calendar.
