ZIP 51653 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

DLRadar grades ZIP 51653 (Fremont County, Iowa) at a minimal 12/100 for overall property distress. The sharpest non-environmental signals are construction/permit lag (90/100), structural risk (29/100), mortgage stress (3/100). By contrast, mortgage stress (3/100) and institutional ownership (3/100) register low. Structural risk reads 29/100 against active distress of 1/100.

The market reads peak — home values rose 2.8% year on year, and 8% higher over three years, at 25/100 phase confidence. At a peak the opportunity is selective — specific stressed parcels, not a broad discount.

Population is roughly 1,390 with a median age of 49. The typical home is worth about $230,200 (3.0× income, relatively affordable). The demographic-stress sub-score lands at 22/100. Around 14% of renters are cost-burdened. The vacancy rate is 9.9%. There are about 606 housing units across 51653. 87% of housing is owner-occupied. Households earn a median $71,417 — near the roughly $78,000 national figure. About 29% have a four-year degree. 4.0% of residents fall below the poverty threshold.

Overall, 51653 shows a mixed profile — neither uniformly stressed nor insulated — so opportunity is property-specific. 51653 has no individual parcels listed at present; the signals above still come from the same audited public sources used nationwide.

Whether 51653 runs hot or quiet, its 12/100 composite is built the same deterministic way as every ZIP in the country — from recorded foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, climate and lender signals — so 51653 can be compared directly against any other ZIP in Fremont County, Iowa or nationwide. Where the public record is thin for 51653, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

51653's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress. For a buyer, 51653 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.
