ZIP 65261 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP code 65261 in Chariton County, Missouri carries a composite property-distress score of 14/100 — a minimal reading on DLRadar's deterministic public-record index. The pressure is most legible in construction/permit lag (50/100), structural risk (30/100), institutional ownership (23/100). By contrast, institutional ownership (23/100) and mortgage stress (7/100) register low. The split runs 30/100 structural to 2/100 active on the ground.

Prices here sit in a peak phase: values rose 4.4% over the trailing year, at 29/100 phase confidence. Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

76% of housing is owner-occupied. Around 22% of renters are cost-burdened. Population is roughly 1,310 with a median age of 40. There are about 769 housing units across 65261.

The typical home is worth about $152,500 (1.8× income, relatively affordable). Educational attainment sits at 18% bachelor's-or-above. 16.5% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. On demographic stress specifically, 65261 scores 28/100.

The number is not local guesswork: 65261's 14/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 65261 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

For an operator, 65261 is step one - verify, pull the parcels driving the score, and move straight through to a funded close.
