Market Analysis: 97112 Cloverdale

This part of Tillamook County is not an easy win. The 97112 ZIP records softness in key indicators, and the playbook that works in cleaner markets often stalls here.

Put differently, the numbers look inviting — $481K purchase price, 0.0% nominal cap — the work to hit that pro forma in 97112 is substantial and deserves full respect.

The gap between 97112 and stronger Cloverdale ZIPs is not closing quickly. Investors should weight long-horizon assumptions accordingly.

On balance, 2,108 residents fill the ZIP, renter turnover runs higher than neighboring postal codes and delinquency risk is a real line item rather than a theoretical one.

Negative Leverage — IRR / Tax Play Cap Rate: 2.4%  |  30yr Rate: 6.8%
Leverage reduces cash returns at current rates.

The current 30-yr mortgage rate (6.8%) exceeds the estimated cap rate (2.4%). Financing reduces your cash-on-cash return below the cap rate. Markets like this may still make sense as IRR plays — factoring in appreciation, depreciation, and a future refinance when rates drop.

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.
