The peak-phase market in 02026 posted values that rose 2.9% over the year, and 17% higher over three years (phase confidence 23/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

At $124,375, median income runs above typical U.S. levels. Around 55% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Population is roughly 25,109 with a median age of 44.

On balance, 02026 reads as a higher-equity, stable market where distress is selective and worth pinpointing parcel by parcel. Every signal above traces to a verifiable public dataset, refreshed continuously and scored the same way in every ZIP nationwide.

Whether 02026 runs hot or quiet, its 20/100 composite is built the same deterministic way as every ZIP in the country — from recorded foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, climate and lender signals — so 02026 can be compared directly against any other ZIP in Norfolk County, Massachusetts or nationwide. Where the public record is thin for 02026, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

The 20/100 figure for 02026 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. The point of the 02026 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
