ZIP 20024 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

District Of Columbia County, District of Columbia's ZIP 20024 registers 21/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as low. Environmental exposure also runs high (climate & FEMA risk (98/100), flood (NFIP) exposure (71/100)). The most distinctive pressure shows up in structural risk (47/100), institutional ownership (18/100), construction/permit lag (13/100). construction/permit lag (13/100) and mortgage stress (8/100) stay muted. On the structural side it scores 47/100, with 2/100 of stress already active.

The contraction-phase market in 20024 posted values that fell 0.9% over the year, 3.4% off the recent peak, and 10% lower over three years, at 13/100 phase confidence. Softening prices widen the spread between distressed and market value — what acquisition buyers watch for.

Population is roughly 16,197 with a median age of 36. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 34/100. The tenure split is 32% owner-occupied to 68% rented. At $102,623, median income runs above typical U.S. levels. Vacancy runs 13.0%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. There are about 12,219 housing units across 20024. Home values center near $526,700, an affordability ratio of 4.8×. Around 35% of renters are cost-burdened. Around 70% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The poverty rate is 17.7% — high, a tax-stress and distress correlate.

On the whole, 20024 leans distressed, with opportunity clustered in specific stressed parcels. Every signal above traces to a verifiable public dataset, refreshed continuously and scored the same way in every ZIP nationwide.

Big metro or rural, 20024 runs through one identical public-record model, so its 21/100 sits on the same scale as every other ZIP in District Of Columbia County, District of Columbia and the nation. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 20024, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 20024'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. Treat 20024 as a screen: confirm the composite, open the distressed parcels beneath it, and run the deal to funding and close on DLRadar.
