ZIP 53961 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Composite property distress in 53961 (Sauk County, Wisconsin) lands at 19/100 — low on DLRadar's public-record scoring. On the structural side it scores 40/100, with 1/100 of stress already active. Property-level stress concentrates in structural risk (40/100), institutional ownership (32/100), construction/permit lag (14/100). By contrast, construction/permit lag (14/100) and mortgage stress (3/100) register low. Environmental exposure also runs high (climate & FEMA risk (75/100)).

The market reads expansion — home values rose 5.3% year on year (phase confidence 32/100). Even climbing markets leave specific parcels in distress; the scoring isolates them.

A median home runs $210,500 here, or 2.5 times local income. Households earn a median $80,625 — near the roughly $78,000 national figure. The tenure split is 86% owner-occupied to 14% rented. The demographic-stress sub-score lands at 24/100. Population is roughly 838 with a median age of 44. The ZIP holds roughly 369 housing units. Around 34% of renters are cost-burdened. Around 15% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The vacancy rate is 2.9%. Roughly 5.0% live below the poverty line, a low share typical of higher-equity areas.

On balance, 53961 reads as a higher-equity, stable market where distress is selective and worth pinpointing parcel by parcel. Parcel-level detail for 53961 is not published yet -- the ZIP-level readings above remain fully sourced to public records.

The number is not local guesswork: 53961's 19/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 53961, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

53961's score blends several independent layers — foreclosure and mortgage stress, tax and lien delinquency, bank headwind and structural exposure — into one 0–100 number, so understanding the components matters as much as the headline for anyone screening the ZIP.
