Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.
Constant road noise from an arterial route. Frontage cuts residential appeal and can raise commercial appeal; which one depends on zoning.
Active freight track. Noise, vibration and horn use at crossings — check where the nearest crossing is before assuming quiet.
1% annual chance flood (100-year). Insurance mandatory with a federally backed loan; no base flood elevation published for this zone. Flood insurance will be required for a federally backed mortgage, which is a permanent cost on any resale and can exceed the payment on a low-value parcel.
Approach paths extend far beyond the runway itself — check which end the parcel is under.
Transformer hum, and a persistent resale objection whatever the engineering says.
Blasting schedules and heavy haulage on local roads.
Frontage or flood exposure depending on elevation and zone — read this next to the FEMA signal, not on its own.
Tract median household income. Sets what a local buyer can finance.
167 of 1,797 units vacant year-round, around or below the national tract average. A further 498 unit(s) are vacant seasonally — second homes rather than distress — so a headline vacancy rate quoted elsewhere for this tract will read 37%.
Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.
A mapped public road runs along or beside the parcel.
Everyday shopping — worth checking on rural parcels, where it can be twenty miles.
Catchment is set by district boundary, not by distance.
Owner-occupied majority, which usually means a retail resale is possible.
© OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Flood zones from FEMA, elevation from USGS, tract statistics from the US Census. Proximity is measured from the parcel’s recorded location, which for most parcels is an assessor centroid rather than a boundary — treat these as figures to verify on a site visit, not as survey distances.
