About Areal
Areal is a real estate underwriting platform that turns freely available public data into instant, data-driven analysis of rental viability for counties, metros and ZIP codes across the United States.
We pull home-value and market-rent trends from Zillow's public ZHVI and ZORI research files, county-level income and demographic estimates from the U.S. Census ACS, fair-market rents from HUD, and crime statistics from the FBI Crime Data Explorer. Instead of leaving you to stitch those sources together by hand, Areal blends them into a single readout: median home value and rent, price-to-rent ratio, cash-flow and cash-on-cash estimates, rent-vs-buy breakeven, affordability, and a neighborhood crime snapshot.
Areal is built for small-portfolio landlords screening new markets, first-time homebuyers weighing whether buying makes sense in a given ZIP, and renters checking if a market fits their budget. The free tier lets anyone run a few analyses a day; Basic and Pro plans unlock more searches, multi-unit property underwriting and downloadable reports. Every figure is cross-checked against independent public records before it's shown, with a per-metric confidence badge so you know what's verified and what to double-check.
Areal is built by a small team focused on one idea: real estate decisions should start with the market, not a guess. We combine transparent public data sources with clear, auditable calculations, and we label every input with where it came from — so you can trust the numbers and verify them yourself before you invest.
