Vacancy runs 17.4%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. About 26% have a four-year degree. Owners hold 97% of homes, renters 3%.

Net-net, 56218 is a working-distress ZIP — the kind that rewards current, parcel-level intelligence. No parcel file is published for 56218 yet, but every score above is drawn from a verifiable public dataset and refreshed as records post.

No ZIP is too small to score: 56218 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 6/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Where the record is thin for 56218, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

Behind 56218'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.
