ZIP 24066 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP code 24066 in Botetourt County, Virginia carries a composite property-distress score of 16/100 — a low reading on DLRadar's deterministic public-record index. On the structural side it scores 36/100, with 6/100 of stress already active. Property-level stress concentrates in institutional ownership (54/100), structural risk (36/100), mortgage stress (21/100). On the quiet end sit structural risk (36/100) and mortgage stress (21/100). It additionally carries heavy environmental risk: FEMA disaster exposure (70/100), flood (NFIP) exposure (69/100).

Prices here sit in a peak phase: values rose 3.2% over the trailing year, and 16% higher over three years (phase confidence 30/100). At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

The tenure split is 84% owner-occupied to 16% rented. A median home runs $222,200 here, or 3.2 times local income. Vacancy runs 18.7%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. On demographic stress specifically, 24066 scores 27/100. Population is roughly 5,234 with a median age of 50. Roughly 9.4% live below the poverty line. The ZIP holds roughly 2,505 housing units. About 19% have a four-year degree. Median household income is $62,536, below the U.S. median near $78,000. Around 24% of renters are cost-burdened.

On the whole, 24066 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.

No ZIP is too small to score: 24066 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 16/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 24066, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

24066's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress. For a buyer, 24066 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.
