Lafayette & Erie has lower booking revenue than the wider market, but nearly the same potential gross yield. Average trailing-year booking revenue is $28,260, compared with $41,256 across Boulder, CO. Median potential gross yield is 8.3% versus 8.2%—too close to make the small difference the reason to choose an area. A revenue-only screen would miss that similarity. Lower revenue still leaves fewer booking dollars to cover costs, while potential gross yield is before expenses, financing and taxes, not a measure of cash flow.
