On DLRadar's 0-100 distress scale, ZIP 15840 in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania comes in at 23, a low composite-distress reading.

Prices here sit in a expansion phase: values rose 5.1% over the trailing year, at 42/100 phase confidence. Appreciation rarely lifts every parcel — the laggards are the opportunity.

Around 54% of renters are cost-burdened. The typical home is worth about $123,100 (2.2× income, relatively affordable).

On the whole, 15840 leans distressed, with opportunity clustered in specific stressed parcels. Every signal above traces to a verifiable public dataset, refreshed continuously and scored the same way in every ZIP nationwide.

The number is not local guesswork: 15840's 23/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 15840, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 15840'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. For an operator, 15840 is step one - verify, pull the parcels driving the score, and move straight through to a funded close.
