Core fields include median rent, vacancy rate, median home value, cap-rate estimates, population, population growth, median age, renter ratio, housing units, household income, unemployment, and job growth. When an AI market summary exists, DoorBase also shows a short investor-oriented read while keeping the raw data as the primary content.

DoorBase updates and expands coverage as source data improves. Some ZIP codes have complete market fields, some have partial data, and stub ZIPs are automatically marked noindex until useful core data is available.
