How to read this

Residential power in ND averages 11.8¢ per kWh (2025). Utilities report outages two ways: EXCLUDING major event days (a typical "blue-sky" year) and INCLUDING them (hurricanes, ice storms). Both are shown above, because either one alone is misleading. These are STATE-level averages published by the EIA — not a measurement at this address. A county is typically served by several utilities, so an address-specific outage figure isn't something anyone can honestly provide. Objective utility statistics, never an input to a rent or value estimate.

Report generated on August 03, 2026. Figures are retrieved live or from a short-lived cache (up to 30 days for some public-data sources), so a figure may pre-date this report — each context card states its own data vintage. Comparable recency is shown per comp; county assessment figures reflect the assessor's latest published tax year; HUD figures reflect the current published fiscal year.

Rentari IQ rent estimates are informational market references, not pricing instructions. They are generated from your own property data, real comparable market listings, and — where local listing data is limited — AI-estimated market references (clearly labelled as such), never from other landlords' confidential rents, to support your own independent pricing decisions. You set your rents; Rentari does not. Every estimate is an advisory data point, and you remain solely responsible for the rent you charge. Estimates are not appraisals or legal advice and do not account for fair-housing, rent-control, or local pricing laws. Confirm every rent independently and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
