Example prompt: Can you pull up the sale and rental market statistics for zip code 10001 using RentCast, and include the last 24 months of historical data?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need aggregate market-level statistics for a US zip code — median prices, rental rates, inventory trends, and historical data — rather than individual property records or specific listing details. Prefer this over the Rent Estimate or Value Estimate endpoints when the goal is market benchmarking or trend analysis rather than a valuation for a specific address.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent zip code returns an error or empty result
- Missing required zipCode field returns a validation error
- Invalid dataType value (not 'Sale', 'Rental', or 'All') may return an error or default behavior
- historyRange value out of supported bounds may be clamped or return an error
- Truncated response for large zip codes with extensive historical data
