ZIP 98650 Foreclosure, Tax-Lien & Distress Report

ZIP code 98650 in Klickitat County, Washington carries a composite property-distress score of 20/100 — a low reading on DLRadar's deterministic public-record index. The latent-versus-live split is 40/100 structural and 5/100 already moving. Its heaviest discrete signals: institutional ownership (46/100), structural risk (40/100), mortgage stress (16/100). By contrast, mortgage stress (16/100) and construction/permit lag (7/100) register low. Environmental exposure also runs high (FEMA disaster exposure (78/100), climate & FEMA risk (71/100)).

The market reads peak — home values rose 1.2% year on year, at 20/100 phase confidence. Near a top, distress surfaces unevenly, so parcel screening beats headline strength.
