Across its ZIPs, composite distress spans 21 to 32 out of 100. 18 ZIP codes are tracked county-wide, averaging 25/100 distress.

Near the cycle top at +3.2% YoY (22/100 confidence), the wins are surgical — target the few ZIPs carrying distress. Mid-range bank stress at 45/100 implies mixed owner- and bank-driven distress.

Top distress by ZIP runs 35760 (32/100), 35747 (26/100), 35950 (26/100), 35962 (26/100), 35175 (25/100), 35776 (25/100), listed with every scored ZIP below. Also scored across the county: 35951, 35952, 35956, 35976, 35016, 35755, 35957, 35980, 35975, 35754.

Demographically, the Marshall County ZIPs on file show a median household income near $60,293 (below the US norm), 16.3% of households below the poverty line, vacancy near 15.6%, home values averaging roughly $192,933, below the US, 79% owner-occupancy, a median age of 41.7. Numbers like these drive the depth of motivated supply and the pace of resale.

With a low 25/100 reading over 18 ZIPs, distress here is parcel-specific and not a county-wide play. A DLRadar subscription opens every Marshall County parcel: owner, APN and address, score, bank exposure and an exit-velocity estimate.

No county is too small to score: Marshall County, Alabama runs through the same foreclosure, tax, lien and bank-stress model as every major metro, so Marshall County's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else in Alabama.

Approach Marshall County by rank rather than by average — the 25/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. All Marshall County inputs are public record — recorder, court, FHFA and FDIC — and the score is rebuilt on ingest rather than modelled forward.

Drilling in, Marshall County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 35760 (32/100), 35747 (26/100), 35950 (26/100), 35962 (26/100), 35175 (25/100), 35776 (25/100). DLRadar also scores 35951, 35952, 35956, 35976, 35016, 35755, 35957, 35980 and more across the county. 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.

Under Marshall County's headline composite sit distinct layers — recorded foreclosures, tax and lien delinquency, mortgage stress and bank headwind — each scored separately before they roll up, so the same total can describe very different markets.
