The pressure is most legible in institutional ownership (50/100), structural risk (34/100), mortgage stress (22/100). On the quiet end sit structural risk (34/100) and mortgage stress (22/100).

The market reads expansion — home values rose 5.3% year on year, at 33/100 phase confidence. Even climbing markets leave specific parcels in distress; the scoring isolates them.

Roughly 25.6% live below the poverty line, elevated and often tied to deferred-maintenance inventory. Population is roughly 2,348 with a median age of 32. Households earn a median $48,750 — below the roughly $78,000 national figure. About 14% have a four-year degree. Around 64% of renters are cost-burdened. Vacancy runs 16.5%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. 82% of housing is owner-occupied. The typical home is worth about $158,800 (3.1× income, relatively affordable). The demographic-stress sub-score lands at 37/100. The ZIP holds roughly 815 housing units.

Net-net, 42528 is a working-distress ZIP — the kind that rewards current, parcel-level intelligence. While 42528 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

Because one deterministic model scores every ZIP, 42528's 16/100 can be lined up against any neighbor in Casey County, Kentucky or any ZIP coast to coast. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 42528 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

The 16/100 for 42528 sums independent layers - foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender headwind and structural risk - so the mix behind the number matters as much as the number. The point of the 42528 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
