ZIP 26035 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP code 26035 in Brooke County, West Virginia carries a composite property-distress score of 30/100 — a moderate reading on DLRadar's deterministic public-record index. The split runs 70/100 structural to 6/100 active on the ground. Environmental exposure also runs high (flood (NFIP) exposure (85/100), FEMA disaster exposure (65/100)). The most distinctive pressure shows up in construction/permit lag (100/100), structural risk (70/100), institutional ownership (54/100). On the quiet end sit mortgage stress (20/100).

Prices here sit in a expansion phase: values rose 8.5% over the trailing year (phase confidence 58/100). Appreciation rarely lifts every parcel — the laggards are the opportunity.

The tenure split is 93% owner-occupied to 7% rented. Households earn a median $53,649 — below the roughly $78,000 national figure. 2,134 residents call 26035 home, typically aged 41. The poverty rate is 13.4%. The ZIP holds roughly 1,030 housing units. Rent burden reaches 100% of tenant households. Vacancy runs 11.8%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. Around 10% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. A median home runs $158,800 here, or 2.8 times local income. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 38/100.

Overall, 26035 shows a mixed profile — neither uniformly stressed nor insulated — so opportunity is property-specific. While 26035 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

No ZIP is too small to score: 26035 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 30/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Where the public record is thin for 26035, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

Behind 26035'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. Practically, 26035 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
