The poverty rate is 32.0% — high, a tax-stress and distress correlate. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 64/100. 69% of housing is owner-occupied. Rent burden reaches 92% of tenant households. Around 18% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Home values center near $96,300.

About 674 people live here, median age 48. There are about 253 housing units across 41839.

Taken together, 41839 profiles as an active-distress market where motivated-seller and below-market acquisitions concentrate. While 41839 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: 41839's 21/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 41839, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

The 21/100 figure for 41839 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 an operator, 41839 is step one - verify, pull the parcels driving the score, and move straight through to a funded close.
