ZIP 50560 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Kossuth County, Iowa's ZIP 50560 registers 21/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as low. The sharpest non-environmental signals are construction/permit lag (92/100), structural risk (47/100), institutional ownership (31/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (31/100) and mortgage stress (15/100). The latent-versus-live split is 47/100 structural and 5/100 already moving.

The market reads peak — home values rose 2.5% year on year (phase confidence 28/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

The vacancy rate is 17.6% — elevated. The poverty rate is 14.0%. The ZIP holds roughly 302 housing units. The demographic-stress sub-score lands at 24/100. 722 residents call 50560 home, typically aged 32. Around 12% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The typical home is worth about $83,900 (1.2× income, relatively affordable). Rent burden reaches 13% of tenant households. 61% of housing is owner-occupied. At $66,172, median income runs below typical U.S. levels.

On the whole, 50560 leans distressed, with opportunity clustered in specific stressed parcels. While 50560 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

The 50560 read uses the identical scoring model applied coast to coast, which means its 21/100 score means exactly what it means anywhere else, and 50560 stays directly comparable to neighboring ZIPs and the rest of Kossuth County, Iowa. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 50560, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

The 21/100 figure for 50560 is a composite, not one metric: it rolls up foreclosure and pre-foreclosure activity, mortgage stress, tax delinquency and liens, local lender headwind, and structural risk into a single reading, which is why a ZIP can look calm on price yet score high on distress. The point of the 50560 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
