ZIP 54842 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

On DLRadar's 0-100 public-record scale, ZIP 54842 in Douglas County, Wisconsin comes in at 16, a low composite-distress reading. Leading the profile are construction/permit lag (57/100), structural risk (34/100), mortgage stress (5/100). On the quiet end sit mortgage stress (5/100) and institutional ownership (3/100).

The market reads peak — home values rose 3.4% year on year (phase confidence 38/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

Around 57% of renters are cost-burdened. 14.2% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. Vacancy runs 11.6%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. About 21% have a four-year degree. About 261 people live here, median age 36. Home values center near $264,100, an affordability ratio of 2.1× — accessible. Median household income is $93,333, above the U.S. median near $78,000. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 30/100. The ZIP holds roughly 88 housing units. Owners hold 91% of homes, renters 9%.

On balance, 54842 reads as a higher-equity, stable market where distress is selective and worth pinpointing parcel by parcel. 54842 has no individual parcels listed at present; the signals above still come from the same audited public sources used nationwide.

Because one deterministic model scores every ZIP, 54842's 16/100 can be lined up against any neighbor in Douglas County, Wisconsin or any ZIP coast to coast. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 54842 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.
