Marion County, IL: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

For Marion County, Illinois, DLRadar turns county and parcel public records into a single distress score per ZIP. 15 ZIP codes are tracked county-wide, averaging 18/100 distress. ZIP-level distress ranges from 23/100 at the top down to 8/100. County-level credit and bank headwind reads 74/100 — elevated, a sign of lender stress locally.

The expansion-phase county posted home values that rose 5.7% over twelve months (phase confidence 33/100). Even as prices climb, the laggards keep building and the breakdown below pinpoints them.

Even appreciating at +5.7% YoY (33/100 confidence), distress still hides in specific ZIPs — and a rising tide cleans up those exits. An elevated 74/100 reading signals what's coming: short sales and foreclosures accelerate.

The sharpest Marion County readings come from 62889 (23/100), 62830 (22/100), 62893 (22/100), 62801 (21/100), 62882 (20/100), 62807 (18/100) — open any for the parcel detail. Other tracked Marion County ZIPs include 62849, 62853, 62854, 62870, 62881, 62851, 62892, 62875, 62838.

Profile-wise, the Marion County ZIPs on file show a 13.6% poverty rate, 83% owner-occupancy, residents with a median age around 43, incomes around $60,860, median home values around $113,060 (below the national figure), vacancy near 14.3%. Taken together, they set up the volume of pressured sellers and the exit liquidity behind them.

All in at 18/100 over 15 ZIPs, Marion County is a screen-by-ZIP market and not a county-wide play. Inside DLRadar, each Marion County property carries owner, APN and address, scoring, lienholder detail and an estimated exit speed.

The distress read for Marion County, Illinois is refreshed as new public records post and uses the same methodology coast to coast, so Marion County stays directly comparable to any other market you track.

Used properly, Marion County, Illinois's scores are a triage layer: they rank where motivated sellers cluster so acquisition spend goes to the ZIPs that convert rather than across Marion County as a whole. All of it is deterministic and auditable: Marion County's numbers come from county recorders, the courts, FHFA and FDIC, with nothing interpolated or guessed when a source is sparse.

Drilling in, Marion County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 62889 (23/100), 62830 (22/100), 62893 (22/100), 62801 (21/100), 62882 (20/100), 62807 (18/100). DLRadar also scores 62849, 62853, 62854, 62870, 62881, 62851, 62892, 62875 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 Marion 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.
