Jackson County pairs a low value with a sharp measured decline and no rent evidence to establish income support. Zillow’s 2026-06 county median home value is $113,729, down 20.82% year over year. Income-focused buyers should be cautious; other buyers should verify parcel economics rather than call this a bargain. No FHFA annual repeat-transaction HPI is published to independently test Zillow’s direction.
Market rent is not published, so gross yield cannot be computed. HUD’s two-bedroom FMR of $866 per month is a payment standard, not asking rent, and cannot replace rent in a yield calculation. The 0.62% effective property-tax rate is a carrying-cost input, but it does not establish parcel tax. Without market rent, price-to-rent and rent-coverage conclusions remain unavailable.
Realtor.com’s MLS data show median asking price down 2.42%, a smaller decline than Zillow’s home-value measure; their methods are not interchangeable. The listing market has a 64-day median marketing time, 28.1% price-reduced share and 31.94% pending-to-active ratio. These are asking-price, marketing-time, seller-concession and listing-status evidence—not closed-sale prices or proof of buyer demand. Annual QCEW reports 1,771 covered jobs at county workplaces, down 0.56%, while covered-worker wages rose; Education and health services is the largest disclosed private supersector, not the whole economy. Tax-return migration was net positive by 60 households, with incoming movers’ average income $6,326 above outgoing. Investor mortgage purchases were 1.28% of 78 purchases, indicating limited measured non-owner participation rather than all cash-investor activity.
Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and modeled annual climate loss equals 0.22% of building value. This is an expected-loss model, not a parcel loss estimate. Market rents, leases, closed-sale comparables, vacancy and operating costs are needed to test yield and valuation. Flood zone, elevation, insurance, deductible and condition records are needed to price property exposure; county listing evidence cannot resolve financing terms or parcel quality.
