ZIP 50078 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

On DLRadar's 0-100 public-record scale, ZIP 50078 in Marshall County, Iowa comes in at 23, a low composite-distress reading. Climate and flood risk are elevated too — climate & FEMA risk (64/100). The sharpest non-environmental signals are construction/permit lag (90/100), structural risk (51/100), institutional ownership (27/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (27/100) and mortgage stress (12/100). Structural exposure scores 51 and live distress 3 on the 0–100 scale.

The market reads peak — home values rose 2.7% year on year, at 21/100 phase confidence. Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

The ZIP holds roughly 50 housing units. The typical home is worth about $75,600 (1.5× income, relatively affordable). On demographic stress specifically, 50078 scores 20/100. Vacancy runs 23.1%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. 80% of housing is owner-occupied. Rent burden reaches 0% of tenant households. 12.4% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. Educational attainment sits at 11% bachelor's-or-above. About 97 people live here, median age 54. Median household income is $51,250, below the U.S. median near $78,000.

Taken together, 50078 profiles as an active-distress market where motivated-seller and below-market acquisitions concentrate. No parcel file is published for 50078 yet, but every score above is drawn from a verifiable public dataset and refreshed as records post.

Because one deterministic model scores every ZIP, 50078's 23/100 can be lined up against any neighbor in Marshall County, Iowa or any ZIP coast to coast. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 50078, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 50078'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 a buyer, 50078 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.
