ZIP 04530 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Composite property distress in 04530 (Sagadahoc County, Maine) lands at 18/100 — low on DLRadar's distress scoring. It additionally carries heavy environmental risk: flood (NFIP) exposure (84/100). Property-level stress concentrates in institutional ownership (43/100), structural risk (41/100), construction/permit lag (26/100). On the quiet end sit construction/permit lag (26/100) and mortgage stress (19/100). Latent structural risk is 41/100 while live distress already moving reads 6/100.

Prices here sit in a peak phase: values rose 4.2% over the trailing year, and 19% higher over three years (phase confidence 24/100). At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

About 11,564 people live here, median age 47. The typical home is worth about $336,800 (3.9× income, relatively affordable). Owners hold 69% of homes, renters 31%. Roughly 12.5% live below the poverty line. Around 40% of renters are cost-burdened. The vacancy rate is 11.9% — elevated. There are about 6,139 housing units across 04530. Educational attainment sits at 43% bachelor's-or-above. The demographic-stress sub-score lands at 30/100. Households earn a median $78,482 — near the roughly $78,000 national figure.

On balance, 04530 reads as a higher-equity, stable market where distress is selective and worth pinpointing parcel by parcel. While 04530 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

The 04530 read uses the identical scoring model applied coast to coast, which means its 18/100 score means exactly what it means anywhere else, and 04530 stays directly comparable to neighboring ZIPs and the rest of Sagadahoc County, Maine. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 04530, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

The 18/100 for 04530 sums independent layers - foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender headwind and structural risk - so the mix behind the number matters as much as the number. The point of the 04530 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
