ZIP 52154 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP code 52154 in Chickasaw County, Iowa carries a composite property-distress score of 8/100 — a minimal reading on DLRadar's deterministic public-record index. The latent-versus-live split is 17/100 structural and 1/100 already moving. What sets it apart are the readings on structural risk (17/100), institutional ownership (8/100), mortgage stress (5/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (8/100) and mortgage stress (5/100).

Prices here sit in a peak phase: values rose 2.5% over the trailing year (phase confidence 28/100). Topping markets hide individual distress behind strong averages.

Rent burden reaches 38% of tenant households. 82% of housing is owner-occupied. At $55,833, median income runs below typical U.S. levels. Educational attainment sits at 23% bachelor's-or-above. Vacancy runs 15.1%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 26/100. Roughly 10.8% live below the poverty line. The ZIP holds roughly 363 housing units. Population is roughly 638 with a median age of 48. A median home runs $156,100 here, or 2.4 times local income.

On the whole, 52154 leans distressed, with opportunity clustered in specific stressed parcels. No parcel file is published for 52154 yet, but every score above is drawn from a verifiable public dataset and refreshed as records post.

No ZIP is too small to score: 52154 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 8/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Where the public record is thin for 52154, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

Behind 52154'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. In workflow terms, 52154 is a go/no-go - the score says whether to drill in, then DLRadar carries you to parcels, capital and closing.
