ZIP 50003 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Composite property distress in 50003 (Dallas County, Iowa) lands at 28/100 — low on DLRadar's public-record scoring. The split runs 63/100 structural to 5/100 active on the ground. Environmental exposure also runs high (flood (NFIP) exposure (97/100), climate & FEMA risk (70/100)). The pressure is most legible in structural risk (63/100), construction/permit lag (56/100), institutional ownership (48/100). On the quiet end sit mortgage stress (18/100).

The market reads peak — home values rose 2.1% year on year, and 8% higher over three years, at 15/100 phase confidence. At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

The tenure split is 77% owner-occupied to 23% rented. Roughly 6.2% live below the poverty line, a low share typical of higher-equity areas. The vacancy rate is 4.3%. There are about 3,863 housing units across 50003. 9,536 residents call 50003 home, typically aged 40. Around 38% of renters are cost-burdened.

Around 45% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 27/100.

On balance 50003 is mixed, rewarding parcel-by-parcel screening over broad assumptions. While 50003 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 50003 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.
