ZIP 17814 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP code 17814 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania carries a composite property-distress score of 19/100 — a low reading on DLRadar's deterministic public-record index. Its heaviest discrete signals: structural risk (44/100), construction/permit lag (34/100), institutional ownership (27/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (27/100) and mortgage stress (12/100). Latent structural risk is 44/100 while live distress already moving reads 4/100. It additionally carries heavy environmental risk: flood (NFIP) exposure (77/100).

The market reads peak — home values rose 5.0% year on year, and 31% higher over three years (phase confidence 33/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

12.7% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. Vacancy runs 27.8%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. Households earn a median $62,679 — below the roughly $78,000 national figure. On demographic stress specifically, 17814 scores 34/100. Educational attainment sits at 17% bachelor's-or-above. Population is roughly 4,806 with a median age of 50. Around 52% of renters are cost-burdened. The typical home is worth about $224,800 (3.5× income, relatively affordable). 84% of housing is owner-occupied. There are about 2,604 housing units across 17814.

Taken together, 17814 profiles as an active-distress market where motivated-seller and below-market acquisitions concentrate. There is no property file for 17814 at the moment; the composite and its components are still built from verifiable public records.

The number is not local guesswork: 17814's 19/100 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 17814, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

17814's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress. In workflow terms, 17814 is a go/no-go - the score says whether to drill in, then DLRadar carries you to parcels, capital and closing.
