Market Analysis: 67045 Eureka

This part of Greenwood County is not an easy win. The 67045 ZIP reflects softness in key indicators, and the playbook that works in cleaner markets often stalls here.

Rent of $792/mo on a $105K basis reads well until vacancy, delinquency, and capex enter the model. The honest cap rate in 67045 sits below the stated 0.0% once reality is priced in.

ZIP 67045's metrics run below Greenwood County's averages on price growth and tenant stability. Investors who ignore that regional gap tend to relearn it the hard way.

The demographic picture in 67045 includes headwinds that any investor should price in. Income distribution skews lower than Eureka averages, and tenant stability requires active management.

About Repit School Scores

Traditional school ratings rely heavily on standardized test scores, which often reflect family income more than school quality. Repit takes a different approach.

We evaluate schools based on factors that research shows actually impact educational outcomes:

  • Class Size — Smaller classes mean more individual attention
  • School Funding — Resources available for programs, staff, and facilities
  • Community Factors — Neighborhood characteristics that influence student success
  • School Environment — Size, type, and structure

Scores are updated annually using federal education data.
