## What's Included

### Property Demographics

Apers pulls census-tract-level demographics for any US address. Data points include:

| Category       | Examples                                     |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Population** | Total population, population density         |

| **Education**  | Education attainment levels                  |
| **Housing**    | Homeownership rate, median home value        |

### Mortgage Rates

Apers provides current national mortgage rates:

* **30-year fixed** rate

These rates update automatically so you always have a current reference point when evaluating financing assumptions.
