ZIP 27401 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

On DLRadar's 0-100 public-record scale, ZIP 27401 in Guilford County, North Carolina comes in at 32, a moderate composite-distress reading. Environmental exposure also runs high (climate & FEMA risk (93/100), flood (NFIP) exposure (88/100), FEMA disaster exposure (84/100)). The sharpest non-environmental signals are structural risk (70/100), institutional ownership (65/100), construction/permit lag (30/100). construction/permit lag (30/100) and mortgage stress (25/100) stay muted. The latent-versus-live split is 70/100 structural and 7/100 already moving.

The market reads peak — home values rose 4.2% year on year, and 11% higher over three years, at 25/100 phase confidence. At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

Owners hold 35% of homes, renters 65%. The ZIP holds roughly 9,444 housing units. Roughly 29.2% live below the poverty line, elevated and often tied to deferred-maintenance inventory. About 32% have a four-year degree. Vacancy runs 16.0%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. Around 38% of renters are cost-burdened. Population is roughly 21,788 with a median age of 30. Median household income is $44,524, below the U.S. median near $78,000. The typical home is worth about $156,500 (3.1× income, relatively affordable). The demographic-stress sub-score lands at 36/100.

On the whole, 27401 leans distressed, with opportunity clustered in specific stressed parcels. While 27401 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

The number is not local guesswork: 27401's 32/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Where the public record is thin for 27401, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

Behind 27401'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. For an operator, 27401 is step one - verify, pull the parcels driving the score, and move straight through to a funded close.
