About 1,861 people live here, median age 47. 81% of housing is owner-occupied. There are about 1,058 housing units across 56296. The poverty rate is 10.6%. Around 25% of renters are cost-burdened. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 23/100. Home values center near $103,800, an affordability ratio of 1.7× — accessible. About 19% have a four-year degree. Vacancy runs 16.4%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. Households earn a median $57,051 — below the roughly $78,000 national figure.
On the whole, 56296 leans distressed, with opportunity clustered in specific stressed parcels. While 56296 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.
No ZIP is too small to score: 56296 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 9/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Where the record is thin for 56296, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.
Behind 56296'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. For a buyer, 56296 is one row in a larger workflow: confirm the score, pull the distressed parcels behind it, then move from signal to funded, closed acquisition through DLRadar.
