Crockett County presents a cross-current: Zillow’s county median home value is $117,984, down 11.03% year over year, while covered-workplace measures improved. That makes this a diligence case rather than a clean directional read: investors who require demonstrated rent coverage and a documented resale market should be cautious; investigators should test individual properties and local demand. No FHFA annual HPI is published, so a repeat-transaction index neither confirms nor challenges Zillow’s direction.
Measured market rent is not published, so gross yield cannot be computed from the record. HUD’s two-bedroom FMR of $1,015 per month is a payment standard, not a market asking-rent estimate, and cannot be substituted into yield. Effective property-tax rate and median tax are also not published; without rent and tax evidence, the record cannot establish carrying-cost coverage or after-tax economics.
In 2025, QCEW reports 1,325 annual average covered jobs at county workplaces, up 3.76%, and an average weekly covered-worker wage of $1,151, up 6.08%. Trade, transportation, and utilities, the largest disclosed private supersector, accounts for 323 jobs, or 33.65% of private covered employment; this is concentration evidence, not a description of the whole county economy. Net migration was negative 33 tax-return households, while average income of departing moving households exceeded incoming households by $18,205. The record reports no investor purchases among 11 total purchases, a small purchase base that limits what this observation says about competition.
Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and the modeled climate loss ratio is 0.31% of building value per year; it is a modeled county-level exposure rather than a parcel insurance quote or realized loss. Realtor.com MLS listing price, active listings, days on market, and price-reduced share are not published, preventing a read on visible supply, marketing time, and seller concessions. Missing FHFA, market-rent, tax, insurance, and listing evidence leaves price validation, yield, liquidity, and hazard-specific carrying costs unresolved. Next checks are parcel flood zone and insurance terms, actual lease comps, tax bill, and MLS or pending-listing history.
