How the Nebraska county reports are scored: each Nebraska report reads its county's foreclosure filings, Nebraska tax-lien and tax-deed records, FHA mortgage delinquency in Nebraska (ninety-day rate 0.6%, December 2025), the FDIC stress of Nebraska lenders (139 chartered in Nebraska) and FEMA/NFIP pressure on Nebraska (78 NFIP claims, three years), then scores every Nebraska ZIP 0-100.

Fillmore County leads Nebraska on the opportunity index at #146 nationally with 14 scored ZIPs. Every Nebraska report is rebuilt monthly from public records; a Nebraska county whose data lapses keeps its Nebraska page and says so.
