On DLRadar's 0-100 public-record scale, ZIP 50220 in Dallas County, Iowa comes in at 23, a low composite-distress reading. The pressure is most legible in construction/permit lag (63/100), structural risk (51/100), institutional ownership (31/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (31/100) and mortgage stress (12/100). On the structural side it scores 51/100, with 4/100 of stress already active.

Net-net, 50220 is middle-of-the-pack, where the deals are specific addresses rather than the whole ZIP. There is no property file for 50220 at the moment; the composite and its components are still built from verifiable public records.

No ZIP is too small to score: 50220 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. Where the public record is thin for 50220, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

Behind 50220'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. Practically, 50220 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.
