ZIP 26348 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Wetzel County, West Virginia's ZIP 26348 registers 22/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as low. Its heaviest discrete signals: institutional ownership (58/100), structural risk (48/100). The latent-versus-live split is 48/100 structural and 0/100 already moving. It additionally carries heavy environmental risk: flood (NFIP) exposure (86/100), FEMA disaster exposure (73/100).

The market reads expansion — home values rose 8.0% year on year (phase confidence 57/100). Appreciation rarely lifts every parcel — the laggards are the opportunity.

Owners hold 93% of homes, renters 7%. About 0% have a four-year degree. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 63/100. The vacancy rate is 23.3% — elevated. 24.6% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. About 281 people live here, median age 56. A median home runs $73,800 here. The ZIP holds roughly 137 housing units.

Taken together, 26348 profiles as an active-distress market where motivated-seller and below-market acquisitions concentrate. No parcel file is published for 26348 yet, but every score above is drawn from a verifiable public dataset and refreshed as records post.

No ZIP is too small to score: 26348 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 22/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 26348, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 26348'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, 26348 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.
