ZIP 24526 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Bedford County, Virginia's ZIP 24526 registers 19/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as low. What sets it apart are the readings on construction/permit lag (55/100), structural risk (40/100), institutional ownership (35/100). By contrast, institutional ownership (35/100) and mortgage stress (14/100) register low. It additionally carries heavy environmental risk: FEMA disaster exposure (63/100).

The market reads peak — home values rose 3.7% year on year, and 18% higher over three years, at 27/100 phase confidence. At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

Net-net, 24526 is middle-of-the-pack, where the deals are specific addresses rather than the whole ZIP. 24526 has no individual parcels listed at present; the signals above still come from the same audited public sources used nationwide.

No ZIP is too small to score: 24526 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 19/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 24526 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

24526's score blends several independent layers — foreclosure and mortgage stress, tax and lien delinquency, bank headwind and structural exposure — into one 0–100 number, so understanding the components matters as much as the headline for anyone screening the ZIP. Treat 24526 as a screen: confirm the composite, open the distressed parcels beneath it, and run the deal to funding and close on DLRadar.
