ZIP 50148 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Marshall County, Iowa's ZIP 50148 registers 23/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as low. It additionally carries heavy environmental risk: climate & FEMA risk (64/100). What sets it apart are the readings on 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). The split runs 51/100 structural to 3/100 active on the ground.

Prices here sit in a peak phase: values rose 2.7% over the trailing year (phase confidence 21/100). At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

Owners hold 83% of homes, renters 17%. The typical home is worth about $97,200 (1.2× income, relatively affordable). Around 31% of renters are cost-burdened. There are about 168 housing units across 50148. 396 residents call 50148 home, typically aged 43. Households earn a median $80,862 — near the roughly $78,000 national figure.

Roughly 4.3% live below the poverty line, a low share typical of higher-equity areas.

Broadly, 50148 is a steadier market — the deals are the exceptions, not the rule. No parcel file is published for 50148 yet, but every score above is drawn from a verifiable public dataset and refreshed as records post.

No ZIP is too small to score: 50148 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 23/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 50148, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

50148's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress. Practically, 50148 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
