Dawson County, NE: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Dawson County, Nebraska sits inside DLRadar's nationwide distress index, built entirely from public records. Bank/credit headwind for the county is 41 on a 0–100 scale, a moderate reading. Individual Dawson County ZIPs score between 6 and 27 on the 0–100 composite. The county spans 12 scored ZIP codes, averaging 19/100 composite distress.

The peak-phase county posted home values that rose 3.1% over twelve months, a 18/100-confidence read. On a market plateau, distress turns selective so screen ZIP by ZIP.

Near the cycle top at +3.1% YoY (18/100 confidence), the discount lives in outliers and a county-wide sweep stays on the shelf. A moderate 41/100 lender headwind points to both signal sets in play here.

The sharpest Dawson County readings come from 69171 (27/100), 68850 (26/100), 68863 (26/100), 69130 (26/100), 68878 (24/100), 68834 (23/100) — open any for the parcel detail. Other tracked Dawson County ZIPs include 68836, 69028, 69138, 68937, 69029, 68860.

Profile-wise, the ZIPs DLRadar tracks across Dawson County run incomes around $69,768, vacancy near 14.7%, 8.1% of households below the poverty line, an owner-occupied share of 73%, typical home values near $160,627, a median age of 42.5. These fundamentals drive who is forced to sell and how readily the market absorbs it.

Net of it all, 19/100 over 12 ZIPs means the opportunity hides below the average rather than a blanket buy. A DLRadar subscription opens every Dawson County parcel: owner, mailing address, APN, a score, the bank behind the note and how fast it should sell.

No county is too small to score: Dawson County, Nebraska runs through the same foreclosure, tax, lien and bank-stress model as every major metro, so Dawson County's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else in Nebraska.

Scores in Dawson County, Nebraska exist to concentrate effort: a handful of ZIPs hold most of the distress, and the rest seldom justify the acquisition cost. What supports the Dawson County read is documentary: filings from the recorder and courts, federal price and bank data, and blanks wherever coverage is thin.

Drilling in, Dawson County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 69171 (27/100), 68850 (26/100), 68863 (26/100), 69130 (26/100), 68878 (24/100), 68834 (23/100). DLRadar also scores 68836, 69028, 69138, 68937, 69029, 68860 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.

The Dawson County score is not a single measure but a composite: foreclosure activity, mortgage and tax-lien stress, and local lender headwind each feed it, which is why understanding the components matters as much as the headline number.
