The peak-phase market in 08802 posted values that rose 5.0% over the year, and 22% higher over three years (phase confidence 33/100). At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

The tenure split is 95% owner-occupied to 5% rented. The demographic-stress sub-score lands at 24/100. The ZIP holds roughly 1,546 housing units.

Rent burden reaches 42% of tenant households.

Overall 08802 looks resilient on the surface, so the edge is isolating individual stressed parcels. There is no property file for 08802 at the moment; the composite and its components are still built from verifiable public records.

The number is not local guesswork: 08802's 23/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 08802 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

Behind 08802's composite sit distinct signals (foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender and structural), each scored on its own before rolling up, so two ZIPs with the same total can describe very different situations on the ground. Practically, 08802 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
