ZIP 01801 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Composite property distress in 01801 (Middlesex County, Massachusetts) lands at 24/100 — low on DLRadar's distress scoring. Structurally it carries 53/100, against 2/100 of stress already in motion. The sharpest non-environmental signals are structural risk (53/100), construction/permit lag (35/100), institutional ownership (17/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (17/100) and mortgage stress (7/100). Climate and flood risk are elevated too — climate & FEMA risk (97/100), flood (NFIP) exposure (76/100).

The market reads peak — home values rose 2.9% year on year, and 21% higher over three years (phase confidence 23/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

Population is roughly 41,205 with a median age of 40. The poverty rate is 7.8%. Owners hold 58% of homes, renters 42%. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 36/100. Vacancy runs 3.7%.

Around 42% of renters are cost-burdened. Educational attainment sits at 47% bachelor's-or-above.

On balance, 01801 reads as a higher-equity, stable market where distress is selective and worth pinpointing parcel by parcel. There is no property file for 01801 at the moment; the composite and its components are still built from verifiable records.

Big metro or rural, 01801 runs through one identical scoring model, so its 24/100 sits on the same scale as every other ZIP in Middlesex County, Massachusetts and the nation. 01801 carries no interpolated values - each figure ties to a public source and refreshes the moment new records land.

The 24/100 figure for 01801 is a composite, not one metric: it rolls up foreclosure and pre-foreclosure activity, mortgage stress, tax delinquency and liens, local lender headwind, and structural risk into a single reading, which is why a ZIP can look calm on price yet score high on distress. For a buyer, 01801 is one row in a larger workflow: confirm the score, pull the distressed parcels behind it, then move from signal to funded, closed acquisition through DLRadar.
