ZIP 29161 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP code 29161 in Florence County, South Carolina carries a composite property-distress score of 29/100 — a low reading on DLRadar's deterministic public-record index. Property-level stress concentrates in structural risk (63/100), institutional ownership (62/100), construction/permit lag (31/100). construction/permit lag (31/100) and mortgage stress (24/100) stay muted. Climate and flood risk are elevated too — FEMA disaster exposure (91/100), climate & FEMA risk (83/100). Structurally it carries 63/100, against 7/100 of stress already in motion.

Prices here sit in a expansion phase: values rose 6.2% over the trailing year, 2.5% off the recent peak, and 15% higher over three years (phase confidence 49/100). Rising prices can mask pockets of distress, where per-parcel scoring earns its keep.

The poverty rate is 18.7% — high, a tax-stress and distress correlate. Around 36% of renters are cost-burdened. At $47,923, median income runs below typical U.S. levels. Vacancy runs 17.5%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. About 10,114 people live here, median age 44. 69% of housing is owner-occupied. Around 16% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. There are about 5,037 housing units across 29161. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 31/100. The typical home is worth about $142,700 (2.6× income, relatively affordable).

Net-net, 29161 is a working-distress ZIP — the kind that rewards current, parcel-level intelligence. 29161 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: 29161 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 29/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Sparse data for 29161 shows as blanks, never estimates, and the score updates on every fresh public filing.

Behind 29161'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, 29161 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.
