The Resilience Score, in the wild.
Every report ends with this card. It re-runs the verified cash-flow math under five shocks — a 10% rent drop, a vacancy stretch, an insurance spike, a rate reset, and the worst decline that market has actually experienced on record — and scores how many the deal survives. Here’s an example from a sample report:
Resilience score — does the deal survive the shocks?
Estimate62/100Survives 3 of 5 scenarios · worst-case cash flow −$112/mo
Cash flow turns negative at 90% of modeled rent.
Absorbs a softening leasing month without going negative.
Still positive through a premium spike.
Survives the reset on this loan's terms.
Outlasts the sharpest 12-month decline in this county's FHFA history.
Each scenario re-runs the verified cash-flow engine with one shock applied and is re-checked before display.
Built to read a market, not just a listing.
Market-first, not deal-first
Screen an entire ZIP for viability before you have a property. Most calculators need a deal before they start; Areal reads the market so you know where to look.
Numbers you can cross-check
Every report cross-references FHFA HPI home values and HUD Fair Market Rent against Census ACS income and FBI crime data — independent public sources verifying each other.
Five decisions, one tool
Area scan, property underwrite, homebuyer, renter, and side-by-side compare — the lenses investors and buyers actually weigh, in a single place.
Pro features at a fraction
Market-screening tools can run $100+/month. Areal Pro is $39.99 — the same lens on the market, with less of your cash flow.
