ZIP 52620 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

On DLRadar's 0-100 public-record scale, ZIP 52620 in Van Buren County, Iowa comes in at 10, a minimal composite-distress reading. Structurally it carries 22/100, against 1/100 of stress already in motion. The sharpest non-environmental signals are construction/permit lag (50/100), structural risk (22/100), mortgage stress (4/100). By contrast, mortgage stress (4/100) and institutional ownership (3/100) register low.

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.

At $66,938, median income runs below typical U.S. levels. Vacancy runs 22.6%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. The ZIP holds roughly 469 housing units. Population is roughly 908 with a median age of 42. Rent burden reaches 32% of tenant households. A median home runs $227,500 here, or 2.5 times local income. Roughly 6.6% live below the poverty line, a low share typical of higher-equity areas. On demographic stress specifically, 52620 scores 27/100. Around 23% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. 78% of housing is owner-occupied.

Net-net, 52620 is a working-distress ZIP — the kind that rewards current, parcel-level intelligence. While 52620 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

Whether 52620 runs hot or quiet, its 10/100 composite is built the same deterministic way as every ZIP in the country — from recorded foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, climate and lender signals — so 52620 can be compared directly against any other ZIP in Van Buren County, Iowa or nationwide. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 52620 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

Behind 52620'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. The point of the 52620 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
