ZIP 62870 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Marion County, Illinois's ZIP 62870 registers 18/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as low. The most distinctive pressure shows up in structural risk (41/100), construction/permit lag (25/100), institutional ownership (15/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (15/100) and mortgage stress (7/100). Structural exposure scores 41 and live distress 2 on the 0–100 scale. Environmental exposure also runs high (climate & FEMA risk (75/100), flood (NFIP) exposure (62/100)).

The market reads expansion — home values rose 5.7% year on year, and 3% higher over three years (phase confidence 33/100). Even climbing markets leave specific parcels in distress; the scoring isolates them.

10.3% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. Owners hold 77% of homes, renters 23%. At $59,188, median income runs below typical U.S. levels. Rent burden reaches 23% of tenant households.

The typical home is worth about $134,000 (2.1× income, relatively affordable). About 13% have a four-year degree. Vacancy runs 11.5%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal.

On balance 62870 is mixed, rewarding parcel-by-parcel screening over broad assumptions. Parcel-level detail for 62870 is not published yet -- the ZIP-level readings above remain fully sourced to public records.

The number is not local guesswork: 62870's 18/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Where the public record is thin for 62870, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

Behind 62870'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, 62870 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.
