ZIP 72740 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Madison County, Arkansas's ZIP 72740 registers 18/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as low. Climate and flood risk are elevated too — FEMA disaster exposure (63/100). The most distinctive pressure shows up in construction/permit lag (57/100), structural risk (40/100), institutional ownership (29/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (29/100) and mortgage stress (16/100). The latent-versus-live split is 40/100 structural and 5/100 already moving.

The market reads peak — home values rose 3.0% year on year, and 16% higher over three years (phase confidence 23/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

Vacancy runs 18.6%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. Owners hold 80% of homes, renters 20%. DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 30/100. Educational attainment sits at 13% bachelor's-or-above. A median home runs $194,900 here, or 3.0 times local income. 15.4% of residents fall below the poverty threshold. About 10,226 people live here, median age 40. The ZIP holds roughly 4,410 housing units. Median household income is $55,500, below the U.S. median near $78,000. Around 27% of renters are cost-burdened.

Taken together, 72740 profiles as an active-distress market where motivated-seller and below-market acquisitions concentrate. Every signal above traces to a verifiable public dataset, refreshed continuously and scored the same way in every ZIP nationwide.

The number is not local guesswork: 72740's 18/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed as records update; 72740 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

72740's score blends several independent layers — foreclosure and mortgage stress, tax and lien delinquency, bank headwind and structural exposure — into one 0–100 number, so understanding the components matters as much as the headline for anyone screening the ZIP. Practically, 72740 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
