ZIP 35229 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP 35229's composite property-distress score is 29/100 - DLRadar classes that as low for Jefferson County, Alabama. What sets it apart are the readings on structural risk (61/100), institutional ownership (59/100), construction/permit lag (5/100). On the quiet end sit construction/permit lag (5/100). It additionally carries heavy environmental risk: climate & FEMA risk (97/100), FEMA disaster exposure (78/100), flood (NFIP) exposure (75/100). Structural exposure scores 61 and live distress 0 on the 0–100 scale.

The market reads peak — home values rose 2.7% year on year (phase confidence 22/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

No ZIP is too small to score: 35229 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. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 35229, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

The 29/100 figure for 35229 is a composite, not one metric: it rolls up foreclosure and pre-foreclosure activity, mortgage stress, tax delinquency and liens, local lender headwind, and structural risk into a single reading, which is why a ZIP can look calm on price yet score high on distress. For a buyer, 35229 is one row in a larger workflow: confirm the score, pull the distressed parcels behind it, then move from signal to funded, closed acquisition through DLRadar.
