ZIP 17603 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

On DLRadar's 0-100 distress scale, ZIP 17603 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania comes in at 29, a low composite-distress reading. Its heaviest discrete signals: construction/permit lag (83/100), structural risk (67/100), institutional ownership (20/100). institutional ownership (20/100) and mortgage stress (8/100) stay muted. Latent structural risk is 67/100 while live distress already moving reads 2/100. Climate and flood risk are elevated too — climate & FEMA risk (95/100), flood (NFIP) exposure (89/100).

The market reads expansion — home values rose 5.8% year on year, and 21% higher over three years, at 29/100 phase confidence. Even climbing markets leave specific parcels in distress; the scoring isolates them.

Rent burden reaches 39% of tenant households. 14.8% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. The ZIP holds roughly 28,466 housing units. Owners hold 62% of homes, renters 38%. On demographic stress specifically, 17603 scores 29/100. The typical home is worth about $262,400 (3.2× income, relatively affordable). About 37% have a four-year degree. Population is roughly 66,788 with a median age of 36. Households earn a median $77,156 — near the roughly $78,000 national figure. The vacancy rate is 4.8%.

Net-net, 17603 is middle-of-the-pack, where the deals are specific addresses rather than the whole ZIP. 17603 has no individual parcels listed at present; the signals above still come from the same audited public sources used nationwide.

No ZIP is too small to score: 17603 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 29/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 17603, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 17603'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. In workflow terms, 17603 is a go/no-go - the score says whether to drill in, then DLRadar carries you to parcels, capital and closing.
