DLRadar grades ZIP 49779 (Presque Isle County, Michigan) at a minimal 13/100 for overall property distress. What sets it apart are the readings on construction/permit lag (48/100), institutional ownership (32/100), structural risk (29/100).

On the whole, 49779 leans distressed, with opportunity clustered in specific stressed parcels. There is no property file for 49779 at the moment; the composite and its components are still built from verifiable records.

No ZIP is too small to score: 49779 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 13/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 49779, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 49779'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. For an operator, 49779 is step one - verify, pull the parcels driving the score, and move straight through to a funded close.
