ZIP 81021 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

Kiowa County, Colorado's ZIP 81021 registers 1/100 composite distress, which DLRadar reads as minimal. Its standout signals are institutional ownership (3/100), structural risk (2/100). On the quiet end sit institutional ownership (3/100) and structural risk (2/100). Structural exposure scores 2 and live distress 0 on the 0–100 scale.

Prices here sit in a peak phase: values rose 2.2% over the trailing year (phase confidence 18/100). Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.

DLRadar's demographic-stress index for the area reads 48/100. The ZIP holds roughly 13 housing units. Vacancy runs 31.3%, above the national norm and a classic distress-and-opportunity signal. 64% of housing is owner-occupied. About 17 people live here, median age 77. Around 0% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The poverty rate is 47.1% — high, a tax-stress and distress correlate.

Net-net, 81021 is a working-distress ZIP — the kind that rewards current, parcel-level intelligence. Every signal above traces to a verifiable public dataset, refreshed continuously and scored the same way in every ZIP nationwide.

The 81021 read uses the identical public-record model applied coast to coast, which means its 1/100 score means exactly what it means anywhere else, and 81021 stays directly comparable to neighboring ZIPs and the rest of Kiowa County, Colorado. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 81021, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

81021's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress. For a buyer, 81021 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.
