Population is roughly 244 with a median age of 50. A median home runs $94,700 here, or 1.9 times local income. Vacancy runs 30.5%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. Educational attainment sits at 19% bachelor's-or-above. Rent burden reaches 79% of tenant households. 25.0% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. 72% of housing is owner-occupied. Households earn a median $48,125 — below the roughly $78,000 national figure. There are about 180 housing units across 17930. On demographic stress specifically, 17930 scores 36/100.

Taken together, 17930 profiles as an active-distress market where motivated-seller and below-market acquisitions concentrate. Every signal above traces to a verifiable public dataset, refreshed continuously and scored the same way in every ZIP nationwide.

No ZIP is too small to score: 17930 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 20/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 17930, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 17930'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, 17930 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.
