How the Kansas county reports are scored: each Kansas report reads its county's foreclosure filings, Kansas tax-lien and tax-deed records, FHA mortgage delinquency in Kansas (ninety-day rate 0.8%, December 2025), the FDIC stress of Kansas lenders (185 chartered in Kansas) and FEMA/NFIP pressure on Kansas (197 NFIP claims, three years), then scores every Kansas ZIP 0-100.

Hamilton County leads Kansas on the opportunity index at #24 nationally with 4 scored ZIPs. Every Kansas report is rebuilt monthly from public records; a Kansas county whose data lapses keeps its Kansas page and says so.
