ZIP code 17020 in Perry County, Pennsylvania carries a composite property-distress score of 18/100 — a low reading on DLRadar's deterministic distress index. Structurally it carries 41/100, against 2/100 of stress already in motion. What sets it apart are the readings on structural risk (41/100), construction/permit lag (39/100), institutional ownership (16/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (16/100) and mortgage stress (7/100). Environmental exposure also runs high (flood (NFIP) exposure (71/100)).

The peak-phase market in 17020 posted values that rose 4.3% over the year, and 16% higher over three years (phase confidence 31/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

On balance 17020 is mixed, rewarding parcel-by-parcel screening over broad assumptions. While 17020 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

Whether 17020 runs hot or quiet, its 18/100 composite is built the same deterministic way as every ZIP in the country — from recorded foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, climate and lender signals — so 17020 can be compared directly against any other ZIP in Perry County, Pennsylvania or nationwide. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed as records update; 17020 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

The 18/100 figure for 17020 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 17020 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
