In Macon County, Alabama, the scores are a targeting tool first: they tell you which ZIPs hold the distress and which owners are most likely under real financial pressure, so limited acquisition effort lands where it converts. The Macon County scoring is reproducible from public sources alone, and DLRadar declines to estimate where the underlying record is incomplete.

Every one of these is scored independently — a ZIP's composite reflects its own recorded distress, which is why the county average alone hides where the real pressure sits.

DLRadar's composite for Macon County blends several independent signals — foreclosure and pre-foreclosure filings, mortgage stress, tax delinquency and liens, and the bank-stress headwind of the lenders operating locally — into one 0–100 score per ZIP, so a market can rank high on one axis and low on another.
