The Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking is an annual ranking developed by J Turner Research. Based on monthly online reputation research of over 116,000 apartments across 21+ review sites and Internet Listing Services (ILSs), J Turner assigns an independent Online Reputation Assessment Score (ORA™ Score) to each property, and this score determines a property’s rank. J Turner Research is an independent market research and online reputation management company exclusively serving the multifamily industry.
For the year 2019, a total of 1,290 properties earned the Elite 1% distinction. To be eligible for this ranking, a property had to register a minimum ORA™ score of 90. For properties with the same ORA™ score, the property with the higher number of reviews ranked higher. The national average ORA™ is 63.05.
