Crawford County, IA: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Every ZIP in Crawford County, Iowa carries a DLRadar distress score assembled from foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender records. The county's ZIP scores run from 10 up to 28/100. County-level credit and bank headwind reads 71/100 — elevated, a sign of lender stress locally. There are 21 scored ZIPs in the county (mean composite 16/100).

The county market is in a peak phase: home prices rose 2.5% over the past year (phase confidence 28/100). With pricing topped out, blanket buying underperforms — the edge is parcel by parcel.

Crawford County's topped-out +2.5% YoY (28/100 confidence) means the discount lives in outliers and a county-wide sweep stays on the shelf. An elevated 71/100 reading is a buyer tailwind: expect more lender-driven inventory soon.

The sharpest Crawford County readings come from 51019 (28/100), 51034 (25/100), 51060 (23/100), 51529 (21/100), 51436 (16/100), 51455 (16/100) — open any for the parcel detail. Further scored ZIPs: 51467, 51432, 51439, 51441, 51442, 51454, 51460, 51461, 51465, 51520.

The practical read on Crawford County, Iowa is a targeting one — find the ZIPs holding real financial pressure, then work the parcels underneath them. Every figure traces to a public federal or county source — recorder and court records for foreclosure and liens, FHFA for the price cycle, FDIC for lender stress — and DLRadar leaves a signal blank rather than estimating where Crawford County data is thin.

Drilling in, Crawford County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 51019 (28/100), 51034 (25/100), 51060 (23/100), 51529 (21/100), 51436 (16/100), 51455 (16/100). DLRadar also scores 51467, 51432, 51439, 51441, 51442, 51454, 51460, 51461 and more across the county. Every one of these is scored independently — a ZIP's composite reflects its own recorded distress, which is why the county average alone hides where the real pressure sits.

Under Crawford County's headline composite sit distinct layers — recorded foreclosures, tax and lien delinquency, mortgage stress and bank headwind — each scored separately before they roll up, so the same total can describe very different markets.
