ZIP 17042 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

On DLRadar's 0-100 public-record scale, ZIP 17042 in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania comes in at 22, a low composite-distress reading. Environmental exposure also runs high (climate & FEMA risk (81/100)). What sets it apart are the readings on construction/permit lag (92/100), structural risk (48/100), institutional ownership (3/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (3/100) and mortgage stress (2/100). Latent structural risk is 48/100 while live distress already moving reads 1/100.

The market reads peak — home values rose 1.0% year on year, 2.9% off the recent peak, and 27% higher over three years (phase confidence 41/100). At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

The typical home is worth about $237,300 (2.9× income, relatively affordable). DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 27/100. There are about 17,034 housing units across 17042. Vacancy runs 6.7%. 39,626 residents call 17042 home, typically aged 43. Around 28% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Around 31% of renters are cost-burdened. Households earn a median $76,399 — near the roughly $78,000 national figure. Owners hold 71% of homes, renters 29%. The poverty rate is 10.9%.

Overall, 17042 shows a mixed profile — neither uniformly stressed nor insulated — so opportunity is property-specific. No parcel file is published for 17042 yet, but every score above is drawn from a verifiable public dataset and refreshed as records post.

The 17042 read uses the identical public-record model applied coast to coast, which means its 22/100 score means exactly what it means anywhere else, and 17042 stays directly comparable to neighboring ZIPs and the rest of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Where the public record is thin for 17042, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

Behind 17042'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 a buyer, 17042 is one row in a larger workflow: confirm the score, pull the distressed parcels behind it, then move from signal to funded, closed acquisition through DLRadar.
