Missouri Bank Stress by County

Missouri reads moderate but building for bank stress — an average county score of 56/100, 44th-highest of 52 states and territories. The metric captures how squeezed a market's lenders are; as they tighten, financing dries up and distress follows within months.

The Missouri readings are recomputed on every FDIC cycle, not carried forward between updates.

Concentration is highest in Shannon County, 78/100, with Newton County next. See every Missouri county below, sorted by lender pressure.

The practical read for Missouri: a moderate but building lending environment concentrates risk in specific counties, and those are where DLRadar expects distressed supply to form before the wider market notices.

Bank stress is only half the picture, so DLRadar ties the Missouri lender read to the property side — foreclosure filings, tax liens and ownership turnover in the same counties — letting you connect a tightening lender to the specific parcels it puts at risk.

The buy-side read is that lending capacity sets the pace. When Missouri banks pull back, distressed exits follow. It functions as a forward read on where Missouri distressed inventory forms.

Across 115 Missouri counties, DLRadar scores 262 banks from FDIC data, weighted by where each lends.

19 Missouri counties sit at 65 or above (high stress), topping out at 97/100 — the markets most likely to seize up first.

One FDIC-based method covers all counties, connected to parcel-level distress signals. So in Missouri you can move on distressed supply before the market catches up — every figure traces to a public federal source.
