Tract-level relative percentile vs other US tracts, not a probability. This product uses the FEMA National Risk Index dataset but is not endorsed by FEMA. NRI scores are relative percentiles versus other US census tracts — a ranking, not a probability of any event.
How to use this
A screening-level seismic snapshot: what the current building code assumes at this location, and what has actually shaken nearby. Useful for insurance and retrofit conversations. Final design values require a site-specific evaluation by a licensed engineer — site class in particular can change the numbers.

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.
