0
Realty Income Corporation is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in and leases commercial properties to commercial tenants.

The company's debt metrics relate to its corporate financing, not consumer debt burden, and its property locations are for commercial tenants, not financial service access points. As such, no KPIs under 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' are applicable to Realty Income's core operations or have relevant evidence in the provided articles.
