Chapter 21: Residential Comparison Index (RCI)
Section 1: Overview
Purpose
The Residential Comparison Index (RCI) has been developed
for comparison of displacement and comparable dwellings. As described
in Development of Index Numbers, the attributes of each dwelling
are assigned numerical values. The higher the index number, the
better the quality, size, age and condition of a dwelling. When
properly indexed, a dwelling with a higher RCI typically has a higher
sale or rent value than comparative dwellings. Determine RCIs for
all displacement and comparable residential properties.
