In July, we feature the third annual Division ORA Power Ranking. We rank the top 25 companies in Division II (20,000 up to Division I), Division III (10,000 to 19,999 units), and Division IV (2,000 to 9,999 units) based on their Online Reputation Assessment (ORA) score. The unit cutoff for each division was determined based on the portfolio data obtained from ALN Data Services in June. The ORA score is the multifamily industry standard to measure and benchmark a property’s online reputation.
With the Division ORA Power Ranking, J Turner Research has extended the ORA award recognition to include management companies that manage over 2,000 units.

Developed by J Turner Research, the ORA Power Rankings are a monthly, independent ranking of apartment properties and management companies based on their Online Reputation Assessment (ORA) scores. A property or management company is not required to be a J Turner Research client to qualify for this ranking, which is published by J Turner’s media partner Multifamily Executive.

The ORA score is an aggregate compilation of a property’s ratings across various review sites and ILSs. Each month, J Turner Research monitors the online ratings of more than 123,000 properties nationwide. Using a statistical model, a single score based on a scale of 0 to 100 is assigned to each property. This score serves as a benchmark to compare a company’s individual properties and portfolios nationally, regionally, and against the competition.
