The vacancy rate is 16.2% — elevated. The typical home is worth about $112,600 (1.9× income, relatively affordable). The tenure split is 69% owner-occupied to 31% rented.

Taken together, 31002 profiles as an active-distress market where motivated-seller and below-market acquisitions concentrate. While 31002 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: 31002 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 26/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 31002, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 31002'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. The point of the 31002 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
