ZIP 16002 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Composite property distress in 16002 (Butler County, Pennsylvania) lands at 24/100 — low on DLRadar's public-record scoring. What sets it apart are the readings on structural risk (54/100), construction/permit lag (49/100), institutional ownership (20/100). By contrast, institutional ownership (20/100) and mortgage stress (9/100) register low. The latent-versus-live split is 54/100 structural and 3/100 already moving. Environmental exposure also runs high (flood (NFIP) exposure (90/100), climate & FEMA risk (81/100)).

The market reads peak — home values rose 2.7% year on year, and 13% higher over three years (phase confidence 27/100). At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

Whether 16002 runs hot or quiet, its 24/100 composite is built the same deterministic way as every ZIP in the country — from recorded foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, climate and lender signals — so 16002 can be compared directly against any other ZIP in Butler County, Pennsylvania or nationwide. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 16002 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.
