Hamilton County, IA: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties
Hamilton County, Iowa is scored end-to-end by DLRadar for property distress, drawn only from deterministic public records. County-level credit and bank headwind reads 48/100. The county's ZIP scores run from 10 up to 24/100. 15 ZIP codes are tracked county-wide, averaging 21/100 distress.
In its peak phase, Hamilton County home prices rose 2.5% across the last year, a 28/100-confidence read. With values leveling off, broad sweeps stop paying — the edge is parcel by parcel.
At +2.5% YoY and 28/100 confidence, selectivity rules well beyond the county average. A mid-cycle 48/100 lender reading implies mixed owner- and bank-driven distress.
Top distress by ZIP runs 50075 (24/100), 50130 (24/100), 50132 (24/100), 50231 (24/100), 50246 (24/100), 50248 (24/100), listed with every scored ZIP below. Coverage extends to 50271, 50595, 50034, 50249, 50230, 50599, 50036, 50006, 50532 among others.
Underneath the scores, Hamilton County's scored ZIPs show household income averaging about $74,029, roughly at the national median, residents with a median age around 43.8, 12.4% of units sitting vacant, home values averaging roughly $152,567, below the US, a 7.5% poverty rate, 79% of homes owner-occupied. Income, equity and tenure like these drive who is forced to sell and how readily the market absorbs it.
Net of it all, 21/100 over 15 ZIPs means the edge is selective acquisition — work it parcel by parcel. Subscribers get each Hamilton County parcel's owner, mailing address, APN, a distress score plus a funding-to-closing path.
The distress read for Hamilton County, Iowa is refreshed as new public records post and uses the same methodology coast to coast, so Hamilton County stays directly comparable to any other market you track.
