ZIP 17862 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP code 17862 in Snyder County, Pennsylvania carries a composite property-distress score of 14/100 — a minimal reading on DLRadar's deterministic public-record index. The sharpest non-environmental signals are construction/permit lag (62/100), structural risk (32/100), mortgage stress (3/100). By contrast, mortgage stress (3/100) and institutional ownership (3/100) register low. The split runs 32/100 structural to 1/100 active on the ground.

The market reads peak — home values rose 4.2% year on year, at 28/100 phase confidence. At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

Population is roughly 437 with a median age of 43. Households earn a median $50,195 — below the roughly $78,000 national figure. 64% of housing is owner-occupied. There are about 169 housing units across 17862. Vacancy runs 21.4%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. Around 9% of renters are cost-burdened. Home values center near $181,300, an affordability ratio of 3.6× — accessible. On demographic stress specifically, 17862 scores 30/100. Roughly 15.0% live below the poverty line. Around 13% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher.

Net-net, 17862 is a working-distress ZIP — the kind that rewards current, parcel-level intelligence. There is no property file for 17862 at the moment; the composite and its components are still built from verifiable public records.

Because one deterministic model scores every ZIP, 17862's 14/100 can be lined up against any neighbor in Snyder County, Pennsylvania or any ZIP coast to coast. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 17862 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

The 14/100 figure for 17862 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 17862 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
